3 quotes from The Natural Way To Draw - A Working Plan For Art Study

  • "The aim of a drawing is not to make a beautiful picture. The aim is to express and understand the experience of seeing, of feeling, and of discovery through the act of drawing."
  • "The first and most important thing about drawing is that it is a way of understanding the world. It is about developing a relationship with what you see, rather than just replicating it on paper."
  • "To learn to draw is to engage deeply with life and to perceive reality in a way that reveals the hidden truths and complexities of the world around us."

Author : Kimon Nicolaides

Kimon Nicolaides (1891-1938) was a pioneering figure in the realm of art education, renowned for his innovative and dynamic approach to teaching drawing. Born in Washington, D.C., Nicolaides studied at the Art Students League of New York under the tutelage of influential artists such as John Sloan and George Bridgman. His unique philosophy combined rigorous observation exercises with an emphasis on capturing the essential gesture and spirit of the subject, advocating for an immersive and holistic approach to learning art. His seminal work, "The Natural Way to Draw: A Working Plan for Art Study," published posthumously in 1941, remains a vital resource for artists and educators alike, encapsulating his methodologies that prioritize the natural, instinctive act of drawing over rigid academic form. Nicolaides' legacy endures through his contributions to art pedagogy, inspiring countless artists to embrace the profound connection between eye, hand, and heart.
