SKETCHBOOK TRAVELER: HUDSON VALLEY<\/em><\/strong>. Schiffer Publishing.\u00a0 2020
\nThe practice of keeping log diaries and journals has evolved through the centuries with the growing popularity of travel for personal enrichment. Five-hundred years ago, artists like Albrecht Durer and explorers like Jacques le Moyne and John White, recorded their journeys in sketchbooks and journals. Picturing exotic locations was part of topographical drawing and cartography. Knowing what a destination looked like helped travelers know they had arrived. The Sketchbook Traveler carries this concept to the next level, expanding the range of plein-air<\/em> enthusiasts by freeing them from cumbersome easels and wet canvases. It provides the novice with an introduction to traveling light, working outdoors and leaving no trace<\/em>.\u00a0 The book unpacks teaching tools and lesson plans for educators, and a refresher course for practicing artists working on the move.\u00a0 Through drawing, painting, and journal keeping, The Sketchbook Traveler guides readers toward more mindful engagement with the world around them, promotes environmental awareness, and deepens knowledge, while enriching one’s personal experience in ways that make every day an adventure.\u00a0 \u00a0LINK\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The Visual Language of Drawing: Lessons on the Art of Seeing<\/em><\/a>
\nby James Lancel McElhinney & Instructors of the Arts Students League of New York. New York: Sterling, 2012.
\nFeaturing the insights of 15 current and former Art Students League instructors, this stunning volume reassesses the art of drawing not as a technique, but as the essential grammar of all visual thinking. In an illuminating introductory essay, James Lancel McElhinney punctures the myth that learning to draw is something for experts only, and presents methods for making, appreciating, and teaching drawing. The 15 contributors then offer a broad range of stylistic approaches and methodologies, accompanied by examples of their own and their students’ artwork. A final section of basic exercises, along with information on materials, techniques, and resources, completes this inspirational study.<\/p>\n
