About this book
Industrial Arts Design is a textbook of practical methods for students, teachers, and craftsmen by William H. Varnum. The preface calls the book a practical guide for designing in wood, clay, and base and precious metals. The preface says the wood problems are treated with special reference to their adaptability to bench and cabinet work.
The text names surface enrichment as the last step, to be used after careful consideration in determining the need of additional decoration. A set of review questions asks what three requirements should be met in a well designed industrial article. Chapter II is titled The Primary Mass and Its Proportions, with a section on The Architectural Method. Rule 10a says designs in precious metals should call for the minimum amount of metal necessary to express the idea of the designer, for two reasons: good taste and economy of material.
