Grade 5-9-This is not a traditional "how to" book that instructs youngsters in copying an existing drawing; instead, it suggests techniques and encourages them to use their own imaginations. Brief paragraphs written in a conversational tone and attractive, full-color photographs should spark an appreciation for art. Welton touches briefly on many topics in a serendipitous fashion, suggesting projects that will expand readers' understanding of various concepts such as light and shade; outline and shape; color, pattern and texture; perspective, etc. Examples of artists' works are scattered throughout-some are by masters such as Rubens, Degas, and Picasso; others are by children. Most contemporary artists represented are British. A good choice for students whose creative juices are flowing and who want a direction for them.

Gr. 4-8. In this introduction to drawing produced in association with the Tate Gallery in London, young artists are taught the fundamentals of the craft and encouraged to develop their talents using simple activities. Large, double-page spreads explain subjects ranging from drawing tools to light and shade to pattern and texture. Each topic is introduced in a brief paragraph, demonstrated with one or more projects, and illustrated with the works of famous artists. The format is particularly appealing, with text and colorful illustrations set off against a white background in the familiar Dorling Kindersley style. Of interest to young drawing students as well as nonartistic teachers who find themselves responsible for fine arts lessons. Brief notes about the artists are appended. Kay Weisman
