The book provides a structured approach to the development of drawing skills. Using a skills-based approach to teaching drawing will raise standards in art and more importantly, pupils' self-esteem and confidence, which in turn will help promote high standards in other curriculum areas.

The book:

• sets out clearly the progression of skills to be taught
• gives examples of how the skills can be applied
• contains carefully planned, clearly laid-out lesson plans
• provides examples of pupils' artwork for every lesson
• covers all of the National Curriculum Programmes of Study related to drawing

I think this is going to be a really useful resource for teachers. I like the format – in particular the emphasis on key skills and the way they are introduced, revisited and consolidated. Judy Grahame, Consultant for Art and Design. To read the full review, click here
