Theobject is the material source of the image, but it does not trainthe mind how to use this imasje any more than a mere knowledgeof words will enable one to write an essay. A line penman is notnecessarily a tine writer, nor a good draughtsman necessarily anartist. One of the most important aims in teaching is to turn per-ceptive knowledge into conceptive ; to get the principle out of thearithmetic into the mind of the pupil, where he can use it concep-tively ; to loarn perceptively the meaning of words and things sothat the knowledge may be reproduced in thought form. Weshould have the same end in view in drawing. As soon as wehave learned how to draw the triangular prism j)erceptively, weshould use this knowledge concej^tively. To do this, the followingis a sfood method :. ^ 3 The Triangular Prism may be made the basis of objectscontaining obli(iue lines. For convenience its study is divided thesame as the cylinder, into (1) the vertical triangular prism. ; (2) the horizontal triangular })rism, Fig. 2 ; (3) the horizontalreceding triangular prism, Fig. 8. Models.— Use for a model a strip of stitf ])aper 9x13 inches,folded as in Fig. 4, with the lap glued, pinned, or a light elasticslipped around it. Vertical Prism.— Place the prism before you as in Fig. 4,and observe : (1) That there are four sets of lines,— 1, 1, 1, 2, AUGSBURGS DRAWING. 143
