Wishes Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 After reading Drawing with Children, several years ago, I attended Mona Brooks' "teacher training class" in order to better understand her methodology, especially as someone who never considered themselves as a person with the ability to draw. I found it to be quite an enjoyable experience, and Mona an enthusiastic teacher. She gave us access to her project materials as a part of the training. Just recently it was announced that Mona's website now includes these individual projects to purchase and download. Each project includes an informational handout about the animal/creature/subject of the drawing, instructions, a warm up page (containing parts of the main drawing), a completed drawing (sometimes several), a drawing that includes the steps (step one always begins with the eyes), and several photographs of the subject. Being a tentative drawer myself, I find that I need to practice the subject several times before I feel confident enough to teach a child. The projects are $9 each. I am including the link. If you click on MonArt Store, then MonArt lessons, you find the projects. http://monart.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaplank Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Thanks for the link. I've had her book for years and never could get past the first chapter. This would certainly help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishes Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 I found that going through one or two lessons and reviewing the book really helped me understand. At the basest level it's all about the "elements of shape" but there's so much in addition to that. Doing a lesson give it more focus.
