Mona Brookes' easy-to-follow, lesson-by-lesson approach to drawing has yielded astounding results with children of all ages and beginning adults. Her unique drawing program has created a revolution in the field of education and a sense of delight and pride among the thousands of students who have learned to draw through her "Monart Method." This invaluable teaching aid not only guides readers through the basics, but also gives important advice on creating a nurturing environment in which self-expression and creativity can flourish. Both practical and enlightening, Drawing With Children inspires educators and parents to bring out the artist in all of us.
This book investigates the core question of how to effectively teach drawing skills to children and adults by utilizing a structured, non-intimidating methodology. Author Mona Brookes, an experienced art educator, presents the "Monart Method," a system designed to break down complex visual information into manageable, foundational elements. By focusing on the development of observational skills and technical confidence, the text argues that artistic ability is a teachable skill rather than an innate talent reserved for the few. The framework emphasizes the importance of a supportive, non-judgmental environment to foster long-term creative growth.
