Hunter Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 The new book 8 isn't online, right? New 8 includes some awesome instructions on portrait drawing. The new book 7 has more advanced figure drawing than the other books, I think. And then book 8 teaches the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Book 8 is definitely appropriate for grade 12. Unless new book 8 is now online, I really hope I can find someone to mail it to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to be in the position to do so in the next few years. I'll try to remember. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arliemaria Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I have my husband's law firm scanner at home since he is now at a county office. What would someone need to do besides scan it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 I have my husband's law firm scanner at home since he is now at a county office. What would someone need to do besides scan it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Find somewhere to upload it, where people can download it. Maybe contact Google and get it put there with the rest of the series. I had a scanner for a short while, but didn't know which settings to use to make the pictures as clear as possible, but still keep the size of the file small enough. I am happy to mail the book to someone who can even just keep it safe for now. I don't feel confident I can do that. And the book needs to be quarantined; it is possible it has roach eggs in it. The book is in excellent condition for its age, and really is the capstone to this incredible curriculum. I'm just really nervous that it is messed up me that might have the best remaining copy of this book, and that it could end out in the trash. So really, even if someone doesn't have a scanner, but loves this series, and is in a position to just keep the book safe for now, and fumigate/quarantine it, I'm happy to mail it.

vaquitita Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 This is a complete art curriculum grades 1-8. It teaches everything step by step. Of special note, crayon drawing is taught in grades 1-3 as a form of painting with pages and pages of exercises using just 8 colors. Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 EDIT: added Amy Jo's link. Grade 4 http://books.google.com/books?id=iqBpAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false EDIT: Added Jniter's links for grades 5-7 Grade 5 https://books.google.com/books?id=oSNGAQAAMAAJ Grade 6 https://books.google.com/books?id=vCNGAQAAMAAJ Grade 7 https://books.google.com/books?id=yiNGAQAAMAAJ older series Grades 4-8 Renai's privately hosted links for non-USA members https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8AgbG4Z0x4NflZ3Z1M3SmJoQ1JIQWQ1QU5SdktFZ0JWMy1BS1ljbzh3M1VyNWZ5STFCVEU&usp=sharing&tid=0B8AgbG4Z0x4NfmdWT3FoTmFJUHVZYmFhaGF1MlluN0V6ejRiWTlGRHZLU2ZNV2NJUWNWUzg I had saved these before, but am only now looking through them. Is it just me or is the first year book harder than the second year book? The second year book practices color washes in blocks first before moving on to tree pictures whereas the first year book starts straight off with tree pictures.

Hunter Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 I think the author thinks that staying in the lines is hard. We tend to think about hard in context of what is hard for remedial adult instruction rather than focus on developmental levels of young children. Also, the pictures chosen are geared toward the rest of the school curriculum. Longfellow's Hiawatha was commonly taught is grade 1 hence all the tee pees. The more I wallow in the vintage stuff, the more I understand what is being done and why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this might with better for my daughter than the yellow drawing textbook. This starts more basic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 I like to start Augsburg a year late and then spend 2 years in each of the first 3 books. I like Willie's Drawing Book and practicing simple 2D shapes and coloring in the lines, before starting Augsburg. And for year 0, I like the Prang books that have molding of 3D shapes. I mostly just like the Augsburg crayon painting and watercolor right now, and try and finish the small Drawing Textbook. The 1965 edition didn't get renewed for copyright as far as I know and is free here. http://dreamsteep.com/downloads/ebooks.html Then 2 little Dover books that are also free for the last 2 years, that a student is expected to work in on their own, if the previous stuff actually all got done. I have had to whittle down and down and down. Small goals for art, I know, but... getting this done is so much more than I got as a kid. And when I run into a student from years before, what they remember and sometimes even pull out of a backpack is DT and crayon paintings of trees. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Maybe a year ago, a student made me a card with an orange and blue crayon tree painting. I hadn't done that lesson with her in years. I cried. It fascinates me to see what students latch onto. It shapes what I focus on for future lessons with other students. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
