More of the same of the first one

I had read the first volume and found it and the author a bit too self-referencing. Still, there were some good insights and wading through it was interesting, if only to get inside another art teacher's mind. But I am not finding the same value as I did in the first book, finding it more of the same for the most part. Sorry; I think the material covered could have been done in much fewer words.

This is a wonderful book full of very useful ideas for teaching children and adults how to draw. Each step builds on another and my students are doing remarkably well. Would highly recommend this book.

Teacher material

This book disappointed me. I thought given the age group of the title it would have more indepth step to step drawings, page by page. Instead it has paragraphs to explain terms/techniques with some examples from students,which were inspiring but needed additional work. This has been give high marks and suggesed as a good teaching tool. Perhaps thats a better use for this book, by someone experienced who can take it as a course outline and bring it to life for students. I prefered, The New Drawing on the Right side of the Brain, Keys to Drawing and Secrets to Drawing Realistic Faces.

A great reasource for teachers

This is a very good book for teaching art to young adults, a great alternative to "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" which is a bit advanced for kids. The personal insights and experiences of the author are definitely a good read.

Super!

I loved this book, and also enjoyed "Drawing With Children" by Mona Brookes. Great plan for a drawing program, very clear instructions, lots of enjoyable background narrative on Mona's personal experiences, student stories/quotes. LOTS of drawing samples, and very helpful drawing exercise pages to copy for use at home. If you've enjoyed Betty Edwards ("Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain"), chances are you'll like Mona Brookes as well. A great resource for tentative beginners in art!
