Rating:  Summary: The best book on eductional drawing yet written Review: As a lecturer at a California University, I have yet to come across a book more resourceful than this. It is the best book on drawing, from an educational standpoint, yet written. Every college professor in the Arts the world over should have this book in their reference collection. Its that good.
Rating:  Summary: GREAT!! Review: As an educator I use theis book all the time. It's approch towards drawing is excellent to the classroom and for the artist. I tell everyone to make sure they have a copy on the shelf.
Rating:  Summary: One of the Best Review: There are many great books about drawing in print. This book has some of the greatest elements of them all. It includes no-nonsense instruction for drawing exercises that really help people learn to draw well. It includes a lot of examples of student work and work by masters. It has a special focus on the work of contemporary artists, and I think this is one of the things I find most compelling about the book. The appendices are very helpful, especially the one about keeping a sketchbook. A wide range of approaches and media are discussed. I used this lovely book as a text for a college-level beginning drawing course when it first came out about 20 years ago. I used it through the second edition of the text, and then switched to another book. After using two different texts and then no text for a while, I am returning to the Betti/Sale text. ...
