To ensure that an assembly will function correctly, its component parts must fit together in a predictable manner. Now, in practice, no component can be manufactured to an exact size, and one of the problems facing the designer is to decide the upper and lower limits of size which are acceptable for each of the dimensions used to define shape and form and which will ensure satisfactory operation in service. For example, a dimension of 10 0.02 means that a part will be acceptable if manufactured...

Balance is a physical attribute each of us must possess. If a figure is drawn without balance, it irritates us subconsciously. Our instinct is to set firmly on its base anything that is wobbling and likely to fall. Watch how quickly a mother's hand grasps the teetering child. The observer recognizes quickly that a drawing is out of balance, and his inability to do anything about it sets up a negative response. Balance is an equalized distribution of weight in tlie figure as in anything else. If...

Varying the size of the cars gives a tremendous sense of depth to the painting. Compare the foreground car to those in the far distance. In this painting, the individual cars have been merged completely to give the impression of an entire group. The same illusion works for the figures at the back ivhich seem to blend together. Only one or two cars in the front need to be in focus, the rest can be simply dots and dashes. The same theory applies with a group of boats.

With a firm grasp on how the symbol system of childhood drawing has developed, students seem to unstick their artistic development more easily in order to move on to adult skills.

With a leap of creativity, early humans invented a language for a visual shorthand, which to this day is still practiced by artists in a multitude of...
