I've raved about this book before, but I want to show you what progress we've made. We're only up to lesson 11 (we're taking it slow) but my children's drawing skills have improved dramatically from this $8 book.
This drawing was done by five year old Hezekiah.
And so was this.
This was drawn by 7 year old Jubilee.
And this by 12 year old Judah.
I show this random sampling, just so you can see what type of work they are producing. Not only are they drawing specific things from the book (i.e. a bucket on a three legged stool, or a dog bone in a dish) but these newly learned skills are showing up in their creative work as well.
Here is a post I wrote a year ago, talking about the philosophy behind the book. I am amazed at how well they are doing, and all without expensive art lessons. I dare you to buy this book and teach your children to draw!
I didnt buy that book, but I bought some really neat ones that teach the same thing on amazon and my daughter is in love! My son, well he likes to use oil paints. His clothes/hands and everything he touches shows how much he loves them. Lucky I dont care! I think its great that you give them high quality art supplies to work with. My kids spend more time doing art than any other subject and I think it helps them in other areas as well.
ohh, I love hearing about great learning tools! Thanks for the tip 🙂
