Proper usage varies with intent




The original plates came with no instruction. What is included in the book is the opinion of a teaching artist. Personall I disagree with the way the plates are being used. I think they were designed to get people to see objectively and IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, copying them literally is not how Bargue and Gerome (who was Bargue's teacher and the initiator of the concept) intended them to be used. My opinion reflects only my ideas and should be considered as such when being weighed.
