Book excerpt: Twenty-five years ago, after teaching hundreds of art classes to thousands of students, I discovered a secret about drawing. Every shape in the world - from penguins to space ships - can be drawn with 6 elemental lines. I call my method the ARTABET, as it really is a basic language of art that children learn to master. The ARTABET shows that once you learn the 6 elemental lines of drawing. the possibilities are endless.The ARTABET is designed for home use and is perfect for elementary school teachers in the classroom. Everything you will need to know to set a firm foundation for your child's or student's drawing is available in the ARTABET / First Steps In Drawing.Great for all ages and fully supported at our Free resource website, ARTABET.COM
