ELEMENTARYARCHITECTURAL DRAWJNG\n\nPART 1  \nDEFINITIONS  \n1.Drawing.—Drawing is the art of representing three-dimensional objects or ideas on a plane surface,such as a sheetof paper,by means of lines,marks,symbols,etc.  \n2.Architectural Drawing.—Architectural drawing is theart of representing ideas concerning buildings and their partsby means of drawing.  \n3.Architectural Drawings.—Architectural drawings con-sist of lines,marks,symbols,and other indications that aredrawn to represent buildings or parts of buildings.Every lineand mark on an architectural drawing has a definite meaningthat must be understood by the architect who designs the build-ing,by the draftsman who makes the drawing,and by the con-tractor and mechanics who erect the building according to thedrawing.  \n4.Architectural Drawing a Language.—Architectural draw-ing may be considered as the special language of the architect,who uses this language to convey to the client and to the con-tractor or builder his ideas regarding a building.Just as amasterpiece of literature is expressed in letters and words,so amasterpiece of architecture is expressed by lines,marks andsymbols.  \nIt is essential that the student of architecture learn to drawthe elementary lines before he can use these elements to expressarchitectural ideas.The work called for in the subject Ele-mentary Architectural Drauing will consist of drawing ele-  \nmentary lines and figures,as well as letters and numerals thatwill be used in advanced architectural drawing.A satisfactorycompletion of this work constitutes a proper preparation foradvanced work.  \n## DRAWING EQUIPMENT\n\nGENERAL REMARKS  \n5.Architectural drawings are drawn upon sheets of papermounted or laid on drawing boards.The drawings are madewith the aid of T-squares,triangles,drawing instruments,pencils,pens,etc.  \nIn the study of Elementary Architectural Drawing,thestudent
