This book evolved out of necessity. After exploring art catalogs and libraries and wading through the "how to draw" section of
book stores, I found a few good resources but none that had all the qualities I was looking for in a drawing book. Some ideas were too
basic and often insulting to my older, more artistic students. Other material seemed to serve as a showcase for beautiful artwork but
lacked any concrete instruction.


As a "travelling" art teacher with a limited budget and limited preparation time, I need a single resource that is easy to transport and can be used to teach all levels of students from middle school to high school and beyond. This book was created to fill that need and I want to share it with teachers and artists in similar situations.
These projects will allow you to bring interesting and informative lessons that offer clear objectives and foster achievement without the need for expensive/multi-dimensional supplies: a regular pencil and eraser is all that is needed (sometimes a ruler or fine pen).
Fancy art pencils, costly paper or kneaded erasers are not required for success. All pages have been student tested and approved.
