The purpose of this book is to show by definite examples the best work produced by students of the leading Art Schools of this country. It is in fact a summary of International Life Class work, making apparent the different styles, technique, creative power and artistic expression of the human figure. In producing this book, we hope that it will forward and benefit the art student for self training in drawing, by understanding, studying and analyzing various phases of draftsmanship developing at the present time. This book is full of progressive suggestions and important facts, practical to both the instructor and the student. To those who have so liberally furnished the many fine drawings reproduced herewith for publication, we express our appreciation and thanks.
