Blackboard Drawing
by Mildred Swannell
Description: A handy guide to introducing chalk drawing to children so they develop drawing skills hand in hand with cultivating their powers of observation. Beginning with circles, children move on to patterns that can be made within a circle and then drawing of simple objects based on a circle. Ovals are introduced next, and form the basis of instruction on how to draw fish, leaves, and birds. Flowers, insects, and larger animals are then each taken up in turn. The book concludes with ways chalk drawings can be used to excite interest in arithmetic, geography, and history lessons. The 27 different black and white plates in this book are meant both to instruct and to inspire. For ease of use, in this edition the text and the plates they reference are placed on facing pages, allowing the reader to refer to both at the same time (rather than having all the plates at the end, as in the original edition). Note: Several plates are included in more than one page spread when the corresponding text spans multiple pages.
