Drawing With Children by Mona Brookes (1996)

Too much info, especially for art-disabled adults! Drawings are dull, not worth the money. This may be good for upper elementary and high school level. I recently disposed of without getting to Chapter 2.

Great supplement to our studies in Classical Conversations. Not as strong on the Christian worldview as I would prefer -if it were my main History curriculum.

The price was good; the book had some good points and explanation. I was wanting more detail beginning a drawing and working through the steps to finish it. A parent must be with a child for sure.

One of the absolute best programs for teaching children how to Draw.

The companiion book "Teaching older Children and Adults is also excellent.

It is a good book in theory, but it is not something I expected, I would like to have more direct drawing demonstration than just theory. I bought it because someone recommended it.

Our 4th child is high-functioning Autistic, along with many other issues. He's very artistic and detailed. With this in mind, and by the description I had read on this book, I thought it would pretty much be laid out for us in step-by-step form where we could just jump into the book and enjoy it.

However, being the type who like to do things "by the rules", I flipped through the book from the front to the back and by the time I reached what I thought might interest my Son, I felt I would have already lost his interest as he is not one for much reading and quite honestly, I don't have the time to do tons of research on one book before I can use it with him.

I'm keeping the book on the shelf for now, in hopes I will find the time to research it more, others can't be wrong when they say it has helped their Children, as always, I will just have to find a way to make it adapt to ours ;o)

Thank You for reading,
