Cast drawing teaches the fundamental lessons needed for all artists. Not only does one train the eyes and mind to translate what they see and perceive, but it stresses the importance of seeing the larger picture in terms of light and dark before seeing the details within. Through making exact copies of a plaster cast an artist correctly learns to identify value, shape and form, and begins to understand proportion. These lessons will help all artists in further endeavors in still life, landscape and figurative work.
