Instructional, fun, easy to read, easy to use, easy to apply. I'm most passionate about making really good art works - beyond simple one-off lessons. My resources outline how to teach the basics about shape, perspective, composition, tone, colour and shading. They showcase examples of high-end art works in a variety of mediums - observational drawing, print, sculpture, painting, 3D construction, photography, computer-generated art and moving media. The contexts for teaching these art works are: • Birds • Bugs and insects • Buildings and architecture • Cars and bikes • Faces and figures • Flowers • Landscapes and nature • Nautical themes • Pets and animals, fantasy creatures • Still life arrangement
