The American Text-Book of Art Education – Teachers’ Manual for The Primary Course of Instruction in Drawing 

This book contains a teacher’s manual for an introductory course on technical drawing and drafting. Written in clear, plain language and profusely illustrated, this volume will be of considerable utility to teachers and instructors of technical drawing. Contents include: ’General Directions for Teachers’, ’Preliminary Study’, ’Use of the Manual-Methods’, ’Pan of the Course’, ’Geometric Name or Term’, ’Reduction and Enlargement’, ’Use of the Blackboard’, ’Memory Exercises’, ’Drawing from Dictation’, ’Drawing from Objects’, ’Busy Work’, ’Design’, ’Particular Methods’, ’Drill Work’, et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on technical drawing and drafting.
