From the Back Cover

"Drawing as Expression: Techniques and Concepts" was written directly to the student in an effort to be user friendly. It covers all aspects of drawing from basic skills and formal elements, to introductory figure drawing and advanced concepts of contemporary drawing. It provides students with information about drawing techniques, the function of drawing, and the concepts associated with good drawing.

There are drawing exercises throughout the chapters that reinforce the concepts and techniques the students are studying. Historical profiles of artists are distributed throughout the chapters that discuss an artist's direction, style, and use of drawing. Examples of student drawing as well as fresh and new images different from the currently available drawing books are used.

"Drawing as Expression: Techniques and Concepts" is about thinking through drawing, to create a visual language from critical thinking skills, intuition, and technical knowledge.
