The Teacher of Geometrical Drawing
THE TEACHER OF GEOMETRICAL DRAWING
GEOMETRICAL DRAWING is so called because figures are drawn by the use of tools, such as ruling pens, compasses, curves, etc. It differs from art drawing, where the use of tools are discarded and more freehand lines are used. Architectural Drawing, Engineering Drawing, Geometrical Drawing, belongs to the family of Mechanical Drawing, while ornaments, figures, landscapes, etc., belong to the family of art drawing. They are both constructive, but follow entirely different lines.
I classify one as rigid and the second as elastic, both difficult and necessary. I have written a series of books on free hand drawing and painting and will now give my attention to the Mechanical Art made easy and clear for the student willing to study and unable to spend much money on elementary education.
First of all, Mechanical Drawing demands exactness and accuracy. A student must remember from the start to have clean tools, to draw clear, neat lines and to learn the correct use of the various instruments so that he may be exact in performing the several operations.
Students may begin with cheap grade instruments, but after they have become experts, it will be necessary for them to purchase tools of better construction so as to be able to carry out accurate work. If they can do so in the beginning, it will be much better.
I wish to impress upon my reader the fact that in this class of work, there is not the freeway of working as in painting pictures. Mechanical Drawing requires calculating and deep thought and students should not become tired but proceed with the system and gradually learn an art impressively big and interesting.
Any student, proficient in Mechanical Drawing, may have wonderful opportunity in varied branches of constructive trades, such as Architecture, Building, Machine Manufacturing, Engineering, Furniture Manufacturing, etc.
It is far easier for a Mechanical Draftsman knowing his business, to find a good position, than for an Artist. Furthermore, while the artist may have to study long years, Mechanical Drawing can be learned within a short time and from good books.
Being Mechanical, it can be learned from books, while Art Work requires lessons and criticism. The young person boasting to have learned Art without taking a lesson is generally way back in that field. A genius might do that, but where did you ever see a genius, they are all dead.
If you are actually interested in Art Work or Mechanical Drawing, write the Author of this book and he will send you his book of thousand informations on Art work, free for the asking.
Art requires lessons and good ones. Mechanical Drawing requires patience and accuracy. Keep at it. This book will start you off well, because the varied problems are arranged with the view of teaching while avoiding intricacies and confusion.
I think I have done my share in helping you. You do yours in helping yourself.

PENCILS. This article is of importance as pencils are continually used. There are hard pencils and soft pencils. 2-H is soft, 4-H is a trifle harder, 6-H is a trifle harder, etc. The higher the number the harder the pencil. To do good work, it is necessary to keep pencils well sharpened. Have a long, well sharpened point and not a stubby one.
It is a knack to sharpen pencils well, my experience being that better results and better control of the knife is acquired by turning the pencil toward myself while I cut into it with my thumb
