COMPOSITION DRAW, DRAW, DRAW ` The embryo artist little realizes how very valuable is the study of saucepans, milk bottlés and soup strainers in his first years of struggle for the mastery of art; for these seemingly ridiculous objects teach him nevertheless to judge better pro- portion of line and mass and through continual changing and redrawing of these objects a fine structure is founded which will carry the artist through his whole сагеег. d “The student is horrified by the drawing of casts— but later ori he begins to smile with self-satisfaction on realization that his hieroglyphics are turning into definite reproductions of the casts. He sees Wagner, Adam, Dante, all coming out of the chaos of charcoal smudges on his paper. He sees that light and shade, oan be so manipulated as to become part of the composition at the sáme time, emphasizing the realistic qualities of the drawing. | In later years the artist comes to look back on these student days of training as the best ones of his life, for with the slogan of “Draw, draw, draw” alveays sounding in his ear, he has found the real secret of success.
