DRAWING MODELS.
DESIGNED BY MR. J. D. HARDING.
Of the many requirements at the present day for whatever may facilitate
or extend education, a system ■which shall enable the Teachers to communi-
cate, and Pupils to acquire a knowledge of Art, seems among the foremost.
The Drawing Models here presented are directly associated with " The Les-
sons on Art," and " The Guide and Companion," to supply, in conjunction
with them, that want. The advantages sought may be thus enumerated :
The Teacher's time may be saved, as numbers may be taught as readily
as individuals. They enable him to place before his Pupils bodily most
of the architectural forms depicted in the examples which he supplies.
They afford him the opportunity of choosing various simple and single
forms, or such as are complicated, and accumulated; because they admit of
almost infinite combinations, which he gradually approaches according to
the measure of his Pupils' knowledge and power; or he dissevers and dis-
sects, as their necessities in any case may demand. Moreover, each Model
is so formed as to be a consistently component part of any composition.
These Models may be arranged so as to present natural contours, such
as the eye is already familiar with; the Pupils, by drawing from these
in-doors, take the surest steps to acquire the ability to recognise, and to
draw, the like from nature, and at a moment when that assistance can
be obtained from their Teachers, of which these trials may prove them to
stand in need.
Nor amongst the least of the advantages derivable from their use, may
be reckoned a practical knowledge of Perspective hy a facile and inviting
method, relieved of that embarrassment and fatigue attending its study.
By their means also shade and shadow are learned simultaneously with
form. Not only may the Models be so arranged as to meet every want
or capacity on the part both of the Teacher and his Pupils; but picturesque
forms may be reared by one, and recognised and constructed hy the
others; the latter may have in addition the opportunity of seeing and
drawing these forms from various points of view, and having thus obtained
skeleton figures, they may exercise on them in an effective and enter-
taining manner the knowledge of appropriate character which they will
have acquired from the study of " The Lessons on Art," or from other
sources. All these objects and advantages have been sought in their
construction, and their fitness tested by many years of experience.
