APPENDIX I 135 



represented and the area of the page used, the relative pro- 

 portions of the object should be represented as accurately 

 as possible. Especially this matter needs attention, when 

 the drawings are either enlarged or reduced copies of the 

 object. The relative curvature of the different lines and the 

 accuracy of the angles go hand in hand with proper general 

 proportions, and if the student will try to keep these points 

 carefully in mind, his success in drawing will be greater than 

 it could possibly be otherwise. 



Labelling and Notes. Drawings and notes are for future 

 use, it must be remembered, and not introduced simply to 

 give the student something to do, as is sometimes thought. 

 He should represent accurately, concisely, and clearly the 

 results of his study and be able to recall the work in its 

 detail to his mind at any time, as well as to make his results 

 comprehensible to another. Each drawing should be made 

 large enough and its parts distinct enough, to call up a 

 mental picture, perceptible, in most of its details at least, 

 at a glance. This must be borne in mind, also, in labelling 

 the drawings. 



1. Label the entire drawing, stating what it represents; 



how much enlarged or reduced. 



2. Label each of the parts so distinctly that you may not get 



two names mixed ; nor apply them to the same part ; 

 nor have to turn the drawing round one way to read 

 some names, and other ways to read others. 



3. Leave a space about the drawing with its labelling and 



place your notes near to it, but not crowded up 

 to it. 



As to notes, the questions asked in the book should be 

 answered in regular order and anything shown by the speci- 

 men, but not by the drawing, should be written down.
