| LIBRARY JOURNAL, November 15, 2004 Issue: | "Brady packs this manual with the wisdom gathered from her many years as an
illustrator for the Botanical Museum and the Museum of Comparative Zoology at
Harvard University, as head of the Graphics Unit at the National Fish &
Wildlife's Forensics Lab, and as the author of ten nature books...To help
readers, Brady provides specific and remarkably successful exercises and
techniques, developed for her [university] classes in scientific illustration
and tested and retested with a wide variety of ages and skill levels. Highly
recommended." |
| HEARTLAND REVIEWS, Bob Spear: | "This is a superbly rendered art book that can be used to teach graphic arts
techniques and concepts to people of all ages. The author is a highly
accomplished nature artist who has illustrated for museums and national
magazines. She provides drawing exercises that incorporate both hemispheres of
the brain. This would be an excellent school or home-school text, as well as
an excellent self-help guide to budding artists."
|
| HOMESCHOOL HORIZONS MAGAZINE (Heather Reynolds) March 2005:: | "Have you been looking for an art curriculum for you or your child? Then look
no further. Better than anything I have ever come across, this book goes
beyond the basic how-to art book. From the first lesson onwards, you will find
yourself creating. Be inspired by highly accomplished nature artist Irene
Brady. Filled with her gorgeous nature sketches throughout this book, you will
easily follow the clearly laid out directions. This book can easily be
followed by a child as young as 10, with the direction of an adult. Ideally
suited to the homeschooling environment, and will be the highlight of your
nature study year."
