Book Overview
Carla Sonheim organizes this art instruction book into themed sections inspired by animals, people, famous artists, children and childhood, imagination, nature, books, and culture. The 52 labs move from portraits, contour exercises, and life drawing to collage, imagined creatures, nature studies, poster design, and story exploration.
The opening material presents drawing as a foundation for creative work. It focuses on seeing, concentration, hand development, and a more spontaneous approach to making art.
