The sense of proportion is the more fullyĮxercised, and also it is extremely important that the student should see that the pose nearly always demands the representation of the whole figure. Therefore, given the essential condition of the exercise, that the figure is to be doing something, standing firmly erect, sitting passively, or lying prone, it will be seen that there is no hardship in indicating the whole of the figure. And as such it is necessary to play the game properly, to have the sporting temperament-to hold on, to observe the rules, and to keep one's temper udder all circumstances. It cannot all be at fever heat.Īrt and art study is perhaps best looked upon as a game, a long, vigorous pastime, affording a few moments of ecstatic pleasure, with interludes of close application -but nevertheless a sport-and many sportsmen will accept the above as a pretty close description of their own favorite pursuit. That is also condemned emphatically in these pages, but it is true also that a course of art study, like any other, is bound to include much serious continuous study.
Holme's comments on this point in his "Science of Picture Making," where he deprecates students having to work all parts of a drawing to the same dead level of finish. It is true that Alfred Stevens, Leighton and others often drew fragments, but they were not studying, but accumulating facts they wanted for a particular job. Out their discipline he would come ill-prepared to the more direct exercise.Īs suggested above, the figure should be drawn about sight-size, and the whole figure always, not merely those portions which seem the most interesting, or which chance to occupy the paper.
His careful drawings, which have taken days and weeks to produce, are now seen to be not so much drawings as searchings for form more or less tentative, though with It is a simple test-to make a drawing, but it stands in judgment on the student's previous study. The point to which he has trained his observation, his knowledge of structure, and of the principles governing plastic representation, are embodied in the drawing, and his weakness, his failure to profit by teaching are there also. In the result his artistic personality exhibits itself on the paper plain to any judge. They correspond somewhat with the slow accumulation of knowledge in a science laboratory, but in the exercise under discussion the student has to set down his impressions directly, in a limited time, and therefore practically without erasure. The search for form, by means of the antique and life, the study of tone, vigorous and prolonged as they may be, are deliberate and experimental. The time sketch, as it has come to be called, is without doubt the really vital and testing exercise of the whole course of drawing study.
