Expressive drawing : a practical guide to freeing the artist within
"This first book in the live & learn series from AARP gives you the inspiration, art theory, and hands-on experience that can make drawing an enriching part of your life. Unlike representational drawing, which aims to create a realistic likeness of the world, expressive drawing invites you to combine basic elements such as line and shape to create artwork that communicates internal states linked to your memories, ideas, or emotions. Skill-building exercises and the author's lively descriptions of works by well-known artists, from Henri Matisse to David Hockney, guide you on this exciting and rewarding approach to creative expression."-- Back cover
