Excerpt from The W. Martin Johnson School of Art: Elementary Instruction in Color, Perspective, Lights and Shadows, Pen Drawing and CompositionIn this school I have not only considered that side of Art which makes for culture and the broadening of the powers of perception and appreciation, but Art as a means of livelihood, an occupation in which there is a joy in the doing of things.It is to those who have not the time or money to go to an academy that I want to appeal. I have simplified the teaching of drawing, painting and designing and place these crafts upon the same matter-of-fact basis as other callings which engage the brain and brawn of men and women.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
