Any reviews? Will just any old drawing book do? We have Feed My Sheep and the library has other choices as well.

You could certainly substitute another drawing book at an age-appropriate level. Just be sure to focus on the elements further developed during the Renaissance -- perspective, etc.

This resource is very well done. You could also complete the assignments within the scope of the unit.

I did not like this book. I think there are a lot better basic drawing books out there. This is the kind of book that over the years convinced me I could not draw.

I say that because they expect too much in terms of what you can do or not do.

I like http://www.thehomeschoollibrar...owthread.php?t=10365

and another, The Big Yellow Drawing Book by the o'Neills.

This second book is about the right length for one unit where as the McIntyre book will last a a really long time.

"One of the major flaws in some forms of reader-response criticism is that they tend to ignore the compact between author and audience, overlook that the author had some purpose and information to convey when he wrote the document, and assume that it is the reader who can and must decide what sorts of things, including what sort of meaning, one can derive from a text."
