Drawing with children
Over the past fifteen years teaching children art, there have been references which have come and gone but there is one which stands the test of time for me. “Drawing with Children” by Mona Brooks, has always been a great source of inspiration to me. She now has 44 schools in the US, UK and Canada to teach her methods to both teachers and students. Her books are inspirational and the methods are easy to achieve good results with even the first time around. She has a second book geared for teens and adults too, which goes a bit deeper. A great resource for anyone who is interested in drawing, with or without children.

Thank you for posting about this. This fall I will start my career as an art teacher for an elementary school of 530 students! I have been looking for a method to teach children to draw, and to help teachers feel less inhibited about drawing with their students. I checked out a stack of books from the library and this is one of them. I think I’ll push the others aside and start with this one. Thanks again!

Rita, The book has been around for many years and I have seen it both at used book shops as well as the library and I imagine Barnes and Noble as well as other larger stores have it. Sometimes I have seen it in art supply shops too.
