Overview

Excerpt from Works, Vol. 1 To teach them inaccurately is indeed, strictly speaking, not to teach them at all; or worse than that, to prevent the possibility of their ever being taught. The ordinary methods of water-color sketching, chalk drawing, and the like, now so widely taught by second-rate masters, Simply prevent the pupil from ever understanding the qualities of great art, through the whole of his after-life. It will be found also that the system of practice here proposed differs in many points, and in some is directly adverse, to that which has been for some years instituted in our public schools of art. It might be supposed that this contrariety was capricious or presumptuous, unless I gave my reasons for it, by specifying the errors of the existing popular system.
