The book Teaching of Drawing in Ceylon was written by Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy in 1906. The book is a detailed account of the art education system in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the early 20th century. Coomaraswamy, who was an art historian and a curator at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, provides a comprehensive analysis of the teaching methods, curriculum, and materials used in the art schools of Ceylon.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a historical overview of the art education system in Ceylon, tracing its roots to the ancient Buddhist tradition of painting and sculpture. The second part describes the various stages of the art curriculum, starting from basic drawing and painting techniques and progressing to more advanced skills such as figure drawing and landscape painting. The third part discusses the materials and tools used in the art schools, including pigments, brushes, and canvases.Coomaraswamy's book is an important contribution to the study of art education in Ceylon and provides valuable insights into the cultural and artistic heritage of the country. The book is also significant as a historical document, as it sheds light on the colonial-era art education system in Ceylon and its impact on the development of art in the region. Overall, Teaching of Drawing in Ceylon is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of art education and the cultural heritage of Sri Lanka.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
