This brilliant review of Creative Form Drawing with Children: Workbook One comes from one of our own authors, Margaret Bloom! We weren’t expecting it, so it’s a wonderful surprise. Thank you Margaret :)
After school, while I prepare something for my younger son to eat, he usually rummages for a book to read or some art supplies. Lately his favorite activity involves crayons and the book Creative Form Drawing (Workbook 1) by Angela Lord. In fact, he likes this book so much, it has taken up permanent residence on the kitchen table.
The book is broken down into lessons by age, with a gorgeous array of colorful drawings to illustrate the forms and principles. Each lesson is methodically outlined by age/grade level and very clear; however, my son and I prefer to leaf through the book, choose a page of designs which appeal to us at that moment, and use the illustrations as an inspirational launching points for our own kaleidoscope experiments.
While coloring books are a popular trend, the designs in this book take the user beyond mere coloring projects; with this book, my son & I feel encouraged to try our own original variations of each form.
