Talks on drawing, painting, making, decorating, for primary teachers

Colby, Lou Eleanor · 1909 · Chicago, Scott, Foresman and company · 27 pictures

Talks on drawing, painting, making and decorating by Lou Eleanor Colby, published in Chicago in 1909 by Scott, Foresman and company as a teaching guide for primary school teachers. The pictures are simple pen-and-ink and pencil sketches of everyday objects such as a flowerpot, an umbrella, a potted plant, a figure in motion and a pocket watch, drawn with loose hatching and plain outlines that suggest how children's classroom drawings can be reduced to basic shapes.
