Riassunto

Practical Geometry for Art Students is a comprehensive guidebook that provides a detailed course of lessons on the construction of plane figures and scales, pattern drawing, geometrical tracery, and elementary solid geometry. Written by John Carroll and first published in 1881, this book is intended for art students who are interested in developing their understanding of geometry and its practical applications in the field of art.The book begins with an introduction to the basic principles of geometry, including the concepts of points, lines, angles, and planes. From there, Carroll takes readers through a series of lessons on constructing various types of plane figures, such as triangles, squares, and circles, as well as more complex shapes like polygons and ellipses.The book also covers the construction of scales and the use of pattern drawing in art, as well as the creation of geometrical tracery, which involves the use of intersecting lines to create intricate designs. Additionally, the book includes a section on elementary solid geometry, which covers the construction of three-dimensional shapes like cubes, pyramids, and spheres.Throughout the book, Carroll provides clear and concise instructions, as well as numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers visualize the concepts being taught. With its practical focus and accessible writing style, Practical Geometry for Art Students is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in learning more about the role of geometry in the world of art.Adapted To The Second Grade Art Syllabus Of The Science And Art Department, South Kensington.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
