Suggestions to the Teacher Respecting the Designs for Drawing. Having chosen a design for a lesson, the teacher should place a copy of it on the blackboard, and aid the iupils to analyze its form and to understand the plan of its construction. He should proceed somewhat as follows :F irst, as to Form. Pointing to the copy he should require the pupils to name the figure upon which the design is based ;to show the points where the lines of this figure are divided ;to show what construction lines are drawn from these points ;to show what other construction lines are drawn, and the points where these are divided ;and so on. Then he should require Vthem to ix)int out and name the different forms of which the design is composed ;to show how the different lines of these forms are drawn ;to point out the forms that are repeated, and to state how often they are repeated ;and so on. Second, as to Const-ruction. Having drawn upon the blackboard the figure uf Kjn which the design is based, he should require the pupils to show how its lines are to be divided for drawing construction lines ;to show from what other ix)ints construction lines are to be drawn ;in what direction the construction lines should be drawn ;what other divisions should be made; what X)ints should be taken as guide dots, and so on. Then he should require the pupils to show how one of the lines of the design should he drawn ;and when it has been drawn to show how and where the similar lines of the design are to be drawn ;and so on until all the lines of the design have been placed. Finally he should require them to state what parts of the drawing should be erased so that the resulting drawing may correspond with the given design. The design should again be drawn on the board, either by the teacher or a pupil, or by the teacher and a pupil together, the different stens being, as much as i Mssible, sugg(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
