Drawing from the Costumed Model

Drawing costumed models a common practice in art schools 125 years ago. This model poses in a Civil War uniform. 

One of the courses taught by illustrator and teacher Howard Pyle (1853-1911) around the turn of the 20th century was "Drawing from the Costumed Model." 

He also taught courses called "The Elaboration of Groups," "Composition and Practical Illustration" "The Treatment of Historical and Other Subjects with Reference to Their Use in Illustrations."

    I'd like to hear the opening lecture on the one called "The Elaboration of Groups" - somehow it seems like it must touch on the human condition...our prime, primal desire for community.
