Teaching Of Drawing In Ceylon (1906)

By Ananda K. Coomaraswamy

""Teaching of Drawing in Ceylon"" is a book written by Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy in 1906. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the art of drawing and its teaching in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the early 20th century. Coomaraswamy, who was an art historian and curator of Indian art, explores the traditional methods of teaching drawing in Ceylon, which were based on the principles of observation, imitation, and practice. He also discusses the influence of Western art education on the teaching of drawing in Ceylon, and the challenges that arose from this interaction. The book includes illustrations and examples of traditional Ceylonese drawings, as well as Western-style drawings produced by Ceylonese students. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of art education in Ceylon and the impact of colonialism on traditional art forms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
