Product Description

Review

Betty Edwardsauthor of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain and Drawing on the Artist WithinKids love cartooning. This book will help keep drawing alive until children are ready to learn to draw from life and nature.

Ray BradburySuper! I wish I had had Mark Kistler 's Draw Squad when I was ten!

From the foreword by James M. ClarkeFormer President, Texas Art Education Association and Art Curriculum Director, Aldine School district, Houston, Tx.Mark Kistler is the most noted art educator in the history of modern art education.


Product Description

As "Commander Mark" on his national PBS TV series The Secret City, Mark Kistler has taught 10 million viewers of all ages how to draw. Mark Kistler's Draw Squad gathers all his zany, effective shortcuts to basic drawing skills into a book that will delight would be artists of all ages.

Like his TV show, the thirty lessons in this book are peppered with jokes, tips, and slogans, and organized in easy-to-follow steps. "Warm-up" exercises generate enthusiasm; the "Key Drawing Words" develop specific skills; practice pages are provided for hands-on participation; and the Commander's own lively sketches and "contests" invite you to add your own creative touches. His bubbling energy, flashes of whimsy, and talent as a teacher make learning to draw fun and easy -- even for those who swear they can't draw a straight line!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love love love this book, April 19 2009
By Lady Di (Saskatchewan) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I have used Mark Kistler's book to teach drawing to my kid classes and my adult drawing classes. Everyone is amazed that they can draw. When I tell them drawing is like mathamatics, my students believe me now. I liked this book soooo much that I bought the next one in the series. You cant go wrong with Mark's books, they are awesome!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful way to learn, Mar 1 2006
By Rick MacIvor (Belleville, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
I picked up this book after seeing Mark on some of the PBS TV series - Secret City, Draw Squad, etc. I've used the book myself, used some of the ideas to challenge students to draw and have fun at the same time, and watched kids and adults use the techniques in the baook and amaze themselves.
Very worthwhile!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun art-couse in a book! wonderful!, Jun 18 2002
By T. Reinhardt "olivia lee" (east coast) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book isnt typical...and a bit hard to describe :) It teaches things that most dont, particulary about perspective which is lacking in most if not all childrens book. The artist, Mark Kistler, does vidoes about drawing that i have only seen in my son;s school and his sense of humor comes thru in the videos and the books. This book teaches basics in a TOTALLY fun way that enables children to imagine ways to come up with pictures of their own...as opposed to most childrens books that mostly only teach one way to do a drawing. This book releases creativity rather than narrows it. I think it is a book for kids with some drawing experience only becuase the book is large and as opposed to other books there is a fair amount of text...which might turn kids off... i thought my son wouldnt like it...but to my surprize its his favorite book...he goes thru it front to back..building skills.... and i see in the things he draws when he doesnt have the book in front of him...that this book has had a positive effect on his ability to imagine perspective, shading...and just his imagination. great book
