Review: Drawing in a rut, uninspired? - Am currently working on the drawing projects in this book and find them innovative. challenging, and eye-opening - and I've been teaching drawing on the college level for nearly 20 years. If your drawings are good, maybe even excellent, but you feel they are formulaic or just uninspired, the "assignments" in this book will get you out of the rut. I'm exploring new media and ways to see things and am truly enjoying it - and better yet -learning. Feels like I'm a kid again, trying things I have never tried and thrilled with the results. May use a couple of the projects in my own classes. As others have said before, the challenge for the artist is to draw what you see, not what you know. The ability to see like an artist is so much more useful than the knowledge of stylized symbols, or the technical specifications of all the different media, or art history and names and styles of famous artists. This book get's you out of all that the logical left brain garbage, and into that wonderful state of flow inside your right brain. While the projects include some of the pioneering strategies of Betty Edwards and Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain, "Drawing Projects" takes Edwards a few steps forward and offers more advanced and involved project to evolve your drawing. Finally, perhaps one of the best things about this book, it treats drawing as valuable and finished media, not some sort of preliminaries to painting. Inspiring and useful book, with over 20 distinct and different projects. Even if you only gain from a single project, (and you will find more than one) this book is well worth the cost allowing you to take your your drawings in fresh challenging directions.
Review: Amazing for Teaching Drawing - I love this book! I use it as a resource for teaching college level foundation drawing. The projects take an art therapy approach that is perfect for current teens and young adults. This book covers the basics in fun and innovative ways with lots of room for adapting and expanding. It is very well organized and includes short readings that enhance the lessons.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Drawing Projects
*by R***. on May 8, 2012*

This is a book for artists across the board from beginners to stuck professionals, as it replicates what was termed as 'experimental drawing' at my art school. Not only is it a massive boost to one's own art making capabilities, it overrides procrastination in the sense that all the 'projects' are totally achievable with time frames of approx. 20minutes, sometimes less. The suggestion that the need for high end & expensive materials is not necessary allows for the individual to jump into it here & now. It encourages us to see with fresh eyes, with exciting & contemporary methods without feeling the need to copy or imitate others, giving us what artists really want: The freedom to do what we do. The text is a fantastic read, encompassing & digging deep into our psyches in a real & tangible way & the examples of various artists work here, nothing short of stunning.
