Study of the principle precedes application in all cases. It is true that
the limitations of material must be recognized in making designs for
special purposes. The substance or surface for which the design is
intended will itself suggest the handling; but material teaches us nothing
about the finer relationships. First study the art of design; develop
capacity by exercise of the inventive and appreciative faculties; then
consider the applications in craft or profession.
