 Rating:  - My kid learned nothing, but Look at ME!Home school, two years ago, I failed horribly teaching this to my son who was "not at all interested" and didn't apply himself. However, I who have never even doodled, trained my eye to see shape and flow of line in everything. Look at me now: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lindielee/ I started with stick figures and great embarrassment - forget ever playing pictionary! Total lessons in last two years: One Adult Ed.

Rating: - Second generation of UsersMy stepmother taught me to draw with this book when I was 7 and now I'm using it with my homeschooling cirriculum for my kids. It's a terrific tool to de-mystify the artistic process and help find your own artistic voice. As an adult, I found the refresher course extremely useful. My 9 year old son, who is notoriously technical-minded, immediately understood the five families of shape and started breaking down the objects he saw into manageable mediums to put onto paper. He had been frustrated with his drawing ... Read More |
