Features: This textbook progresses from simple to complex, from basic to advanced, starting from geometrically distinct home appliances to composite shapes like cars and buildings, and gradually moving on to sketches and studies of flowers and figures. When perspective phenomena are involved in teaching, students are only required to have a basic understanding of their names. The drawing focuses on line work to shape forms, using varying lengths, curves, shapes, and densities of lines to depict the forms and structures of objects. Students are expected to gradually achieve: definite and smooth lines, clear shapes, and a simple composition. In-class teaching combines copying and life drawing to guide students in learning from the excellent works and traditional painting methods of predecessors. Based on copying, students then learn life drawing.
