This is a reference guide to structural concepts and principles related to drawing and color theory, edited by Henry J.T. Doren. It was written for painters, designers, art teachers and students, as well as art conservators.

The guide is a basic outline of principles and concepts relating to the craftsmanship involved in drawing and the use of color in such a way that the intellect may enter the creative process.

The history of mankind demonstrates that man is responsive to universal aesthetic values. The great works of art of all ages reveal similarity of response of the observer to these values and their application in drawing, painting, sculpture or architecture. It is thus feasible to say that some universal quality in art and man in all parts ot he world permits this splendid understanding.

The lectures and studio classes of Frank J. Reilly stressed craftsmanship based on these universal values. The author, student of Frank J. Reilly, taught art studio courses at County College of Morris, Randolph, NJ, and presented this source material to his students. Now this sought after information has been summarized in this "guide."

Aspects of Drawing includes instruction on materials, forms, planes, light and shade, perspective, structure of the human figure, and foreshortening. Color Theory presents the elements of light and shade, basic light conditions, color mixtures, and value principles. Also included here is the indispensable Munsell Color Chart and Hue Classifications.
