MECHANICS OF DRAWING
ADDRESS BY ART DIRECTOR Certain points of mechanical craftsmanship in art were dealt with last evening by Mr. A. J. C. Fisher, director of the Elam School of Art, in an address to members of tho Auckland Society of Arts last evening on "Some Mechanics of Great Drawings." Using reproductions of drawings by Leonardo da Vinci and Michael Angclo, Mr. Fisher demonstrated the principles of perspective shown in theso sketches, showing how the dimensional forms of both heads and figures were basically similar to tho perspective in drawings of boxes. Ho said in his opinion good draftsmanship was based on a correct perception of tho lighting of solid bodies of threo dimensions in perspective.
