I am excited to start this book with my 5 year old. She loves to draw. I can't wait to see if the book's suggestions actually work...
A book for ALL teachers!, 2009-07-29
by K. E. Farmer (Tucumcari, NM USA)
Oh, if only EVERY teacher had a copy of this "how to" book! If teachers had their children drawing in every class, what a great eduction system we would have. Readers, please take the time to read the sections on "using drawing to teach other subjects!" And of course the enlightened "reaching special ed and at risk students." Take the time to create your own exercise sheets, and do the step by step drawing of the bird, lion, parrot, and horse and you will see the method and how it works. I have always been an artist and it is easy for me to see how powerful and exciting this teaching concept is. Thank you Mona for Monart!

I have a previously published book by Mona Brookes. I liked it very much, and purchased this issue to get a better insight in teaching pre school aged children. It was very helpful, while not providing specific lesson plans for my 26+ group( what would), it gave me simpler processes and approaches to help me out. I very much reccommend this book for anyone looking for ways to draw and teaching/seeingto many different age groups.
Very worthwhile teaching tool, 2008-12-21

I used this book 3 years ago with a group of teachers who were interested in improving their art instruction. We found that it vastly improved our own drawing skills. I like that the specific instructions for drawing techniques really helped my students (grade 3 to 5) to express themselves through their drawing in a very satisfying way!
