This book is a new classical drawing course in itself and at the same time gives you a taste of the many popular titles available from Burst Books.140 Classical Drawing SheetsSamples from the following Burst Books Complete Bargue Drawing CourseModeles Classiques Nouvelle Classical Drawing Course by Josephine DucolletThe Julien Drawing The Complete Collection of Julien DrawingsBargue Grid Drawing WorkbookHow To Draw Eyes, Ears, Noses, Mouths, Faces & Heads the Classical WayHow To Draw Hands, Feet, Arms & Legs the Classical WayThe Bargue Drawing PlatesBargue Figure Drawing PlatesAlexandre Calame Landscape Drawing L'Etude Du Paysage totally support the point of view of French art teachers of the 19th century that fine art students need to study the rich traditions of the classical art.
French schools at that time advocated the following sequence of art Drawing copies of classical art platesCopying drawings by the Old MastersDrawing classical casts – busts and figuresDrawing live modelsThe 20th century brought various “isms” into art, and many art students become disillusioned with art education as it is practiced today.
Copying the Old Masters and studying their art is an important part of traditional art education. Copying classical masterpieces will develop a proper artistic taste and style. I believe that thousands of fine art students will improve greatly from such exercises.
These plates were created as a part of an intensive drawing course system designed by the late great draftsman, artist, and painter Charles Bargue
During my atelier training these lessons were integrated in the curriculum (as I’d imagine with most ateliers around the world) and taught as a means of refinement of observational skills in the practice of drawing.
Benefits are perpetual in the entire scope of the artist’s development.To have the ability to accurately record what the eye sees removing deviation or mental hindrance, I’d say is the basic principle behind this drawing system.
Once this is gained the artist is in a better position to integrate their imagination in a precision controlled manner.

If you just love drawing and have cash to burn, you should buy it.
