Object dbawinq may be appropriately called freehand perspective, or memory drawing. Either one ot these three names partially describes its character and the three together indicate what it really consists of. It may appear to some that the subject is not of any great importance, as compared with freehand, geometry or perspective, these three being of such practical utility to the artisan and artist, apart from their value as educative mediums. But when it is considered that object drawing embraces these three other subjects, and is the practical appUcation of them, it must be treated as being equally, if not more important than either of them. The power to reprMent objects with facility is not the greatest benefit to be derived from it by the majority of those studying it, in fact this should be looked upon as a mere secondary consideration, even by those who study it as forming part of an art, education. In order to properly prosecute the study of object drawing it is necessary to become familiar with the forms and construction of common objects, and this, of court,e, presupposes that these objects have been examined, not carelessly, but critically, until tlie facts of their forms are indelibly impressed upon the memory. The close observation of things is one of thi most useful habits wliich a person can form, and the student is earnestly advised to cultivate it. It is the tendency to lead to the cultivation of observation which makes object drawing such an important sub- ject, and in order to reap all the benefits to be derived from it, it should be studied honestly and assiduously on the lines indicated in this little book. In object drawing no instruments other than pencils ana rubber should be used. The pencils recommended for freehand, viz., H and HB are suitable for object drawing and should be kept well sharpened. ,. , , j The outline of an object should be drawn as lightly and care- fully as possible, and afterwards " lined in " with a firm, decided stroke. For the first sketch the H pencil should be used, and the HB pencil used for " lining in." v . -i. *i, *. The student should strive earnestly to avoid the habit that very many fall into of drawing their lines almost at random, and it iiot correct, patching theTn with short strokes, making their work look untidy in the extreme. The lines should not be "painted" or "dotted "in but drawn without hesitation, firmly and carefully. A good plan to adopt is to first decide in what direction a line is to run and mark two points, judging their position so that they will indicate not only the direction of the line but its length also, and draw the line from point to point without stopping, unless it is a very long one. In the case of a curved line several points may be used, but they should not m 2 any case be placed less than half an inch apart. These points should form part of the line when it is drawn and so unless they are selected with great care they might better be omitted altogether. The geometric outline of every object should be drawn first, no matter how expert the student is with hift pencil, and how familiar he is with the mode of representing an object. Atten- tion to this will save many disappointments and much annoyance. It is not expected that the vanishing lines in an object shall be drawn by means of a ruler, to a vanishing point selected and marked on the paper. All vanishing points should have an imaginary existence to the student but their position should be selected with care, and the lines vanishing in them be drawn freehand towards them as nearly^as possible, and not any longer than is judged necessary. Mathematical accuracy in the freehand drawing of an object should not be looked for. It should be considered quite satisfactory if it represents with a certain amount ih the facts of the form of the object, more especially its proportions, for if they are right the details are almost certain to be right too. Sometimes, through not being perfectly familiar with the form of an object, it may be difficult to decide just where or how to commence a drawing of it. Unfortunately even the most com- mon objects around us have not been examined by us as they should be, and many will no doubt find this out. In such a case, the best and in fact the only wise thing to do is to find the object in question, examine it carefully, making notes of the form, size, and relative position of its parts, if necessary to impress them on the memory, and not till then to attempt to draw it, and to draw it without referring again to the object itself, unless for the pur- pose of criticizing the drawing and correcting errors. If the working of the exercises is carried on in concert in a school it would be well for the teacher to have the object required present before the pupils if possible, give them an opportunity to examine it and then analyse it before them, making constructive drawings of its various parts on the blackboard. After this the pupils might commence to draw. In every case the drawings should be made as large as the space allotted to them will aibw. In the last two illustrations a little shading is used for the purpose of adding interest to them, but the student should not look upon this as an example for him to follow. He should con- fine his whole attention to form, and lot light and shade alone until he is expert in drawing correct outlines, and even then not to meddle with it until he has had some instruction in represent- ing shades of different tones by means of a pen or pencil.

Pig. 2 shows a si|uaro in a number of positions when its plane is horizontal, and Fig. 3 shows a square in sevend positions when its piano is perpendicular to tho picture piano but at difTcrent angles with tho ground plane. In all of these squares two .sides aro reprosonti-d as being parallel to tho jiicture plino. A very little observation and thnught will serve to impress those facts of appearaneo upon tho mind so that when tho position of a square is given it can bo drawn without any hesitation. If, inste.id of a sipiare, an oblong 1"- retiuired, it can bodrawn b- using a Square as a basis and lengthening two opjiosito .sides in tiio s.imo diri^ction and joining their extremities Ijy a lino drawn N K V ' / 1 '■-'^ FIG. 1, towards tho vanishing point of tho other sides. This is shown in Fig. 4, where a b c d represents a sciuaro in diderent positions, and a b c / an oblong. Sometimes it m.iy bo required to draw an oblong the lengtli of which is twice its width. In this ca.so draw a square, as abed Fig. f), di-aw its diiigouals to lind tho centre, and through the centre draw a lino towards tho vanishing point of either pair of sides according to circumstances. Then tho oblongs b c f w\\\ l)o the ono required. An oblong of any proportions ni.iy be obtained l>y drawing a scjuare with its diagonals, drawing a liori- zonlal lino tlirough tho centre, dividing this horizontal lino into tho projier number of parts, iind drawing lines through tho points of di\ision towiirds the vnnisiiing pnint nf t!ie t;ides out by tho horizontalline. Thus if an oblong be rniuired its sides to bear the ratio of 4 to 5, construct a .sipiare the sides of which will represent 5, divide the horizontal line into five equal parts and draw a lino through the fourth division as shown in Fig. 0, whioc abed is the oblong re(iuiied. Fig. 6 shows also an oblong the sides of which bear tho ratio of 3 to 7. In case tho long sides of tho oblong aro re(iniied to bo parallel to the! picture plaim, i)ro- ceed as before, and through tho point (.i)wliero tho lino corns sjionding to l> c, Fig. C, intersects the diagonal of the scpiare, draw a lino towards tho vanishing point of tho sides cut by b c. \ 1 \ 1 \ V -.-.,.. - ..... — • -^ / \ / \ \ FIG. 2. The square may bo used as tho basis of tho equilateral and other triangles, and several of tho polygons, so that tho pupil will do well to make himself perfectly familiar with tho wanner of representing it. For tho present, howevei', it will bo necessary to leave tho representation of tho square when none of its sides are jiarallel to tho picture plane, as the student would not understand it thoroughly until after tho perspective appearance of the circle is under.stood. The perspective appearance of the circle follows the same rule as the appearance of the .siiuaro, that is, wdien in a plane perpen- dicular to the picture plane and which contains tho centre of vision, it is represented by a line, audits apparent width varies according Ex and p opposii the th longest sides u ExK two side the othc eacli sqi EXEKCISE 1.— Draw tliron squares, tlieir plaiies hein.' vertical and perpendicular to tho picture plane.

This appears to ho a contradiction of tlio rosults olitalned in some of tho prohleins and excrcisos in tlio book on Linear Per- spootivo of this sorios, and to a certain extent it is. In illustration Fig. 32, Book 3, tlio transverse axis of tho ellipso representing a circle liaving its piano horizontal, is not horizontiil, and tho student may with .some show of reason say that either the principles of perspective as laid down and explained aro incorrect, or tlwt the statement made in tho hvst paragrapli is false. If the student refers back to tho book on Linear Perspective and reads tho fourth paragraph of page 3, lie may perhaps bo able to account for tho apparent discrepancy. When any one is making a drawing of an object, his eye is fi.xed upon diii'oront parts of it as his work proceed.s, and as tho direction of his gaze is represented by the lino of direction, the line of direction is being constantly changed, as is also tho picture plane which is always perpeiulicular to the line of direction. From this it is evident that tho only rays of light which render objects visible for the puri)oses of drawing correspond to tho lino of direction. .\ rule to bo deduced from this \a thai all vim the shorter ones l,ein« e,pial in l.Mi^th to the sides of the souaie.'

It is necessary to draw the polygons geometrically, enclosed in squares, before proceeding to represent them persimctively, so that the positions of their corners as compared with the corners and sides of the square can be determined. In the ease of tlie pentagon, Fig. 14, it is seen that two angles are in the base of the square, one in each of the right and left hand sides, and one in the vertical diameter a little distance from the upper e.xtremity. 14 In the perspective representation, unless it is obtained by the rules of perspectiio worked out as explained in the book on Linear Perspective of this course, it is not supposed to bo mathe- matically correct, as the jioints must be delernuned by judgment of the eye alone. Too exact rules for liiiding them would only uiniecossarily hamper the situdent in his work.

Next draw the diaiiKUeis of the square, producing them to touch the eur\e of the ellipse and join tho points thus obtained. It is not considered necessary to deal with i\\<: manner of representing any of the other polygons, as they will very .seldom f:c \i. be needed, and if they are the student will, no doubt, Im- able to modify some of the methods already expl.ained to suit any case that may present it.self ; or ho may exercise his ingenuity and originate a method of his own.
