Two Methods of Teaching Drawing Skills.

Pariser, David A.

Studies in Art Education, v20 n3 p30-42 1979

In a theoretical and philosophical discussion, the author examines the results of two drawing exercises he used with elementary students. Exercise One, "blind contour" drawing from life, was based on child-centered art learning theory. Exercise Two, copying an artwork, emphasized the learning of graphic conventions and cultural forms.
