From the Author
Martie Zad, the critic at the Washington Post said it best, 'Simple steps that make drawing easy... Sandra Angelo says she can teach art to people who can't even draw a straight line, those whose efforts never even made it to Mom's refrigerator door. She has put her methods on four videos and into a book, So You Thought You Couldn't Draw™. Last month she appeared on HGTV,' (ABC, Discovery Channel & TNN) 'demonstrating how in just 6 or 8 weeks people who were drawing like 6-year-olds at first are producing life-like artistic renderings by following the methods outline in her videos and book... Angelo is a Rhode Island Schools of Design Fellowship Award winner, a portrait artist and author of numerous books and producer of videos."
My goal is to be a catalyst who develops untapped creative potential in people who think they can't even draw a straight line. If you've always wanted to draw but thought you had to be born with talent, I have good news. I've developed a unique step-by-step collection of videos and a companion book titled, So You Thought You Couldn't Draw™.
Why videos... because my students told me that it looked easy when I demonstrated but when they got home, they couldn't remember the techniques. With a video, you can attend an art class without leaving your easy chair. And, unlike an art class, if you don't understand the demo, you can rewind it. You'll be amazed how quickly you can learn to draw. Your book will contain many of the same drawings which are shown on the videos, so you can draw right along with me.
And, if you don't have the videos, you don't need to worry. The book is self-contained. Many folks have learned by simply following the step-by-step instructions in the workbook.
And there is more good news. You're not a guinea pig. This method has been working for thousands of people for the past 9 years.
Drawing skills are so basic to art that once you learn to draw, you can plunge fearlessly into any art media.
Finally, you'll LOVE the therupeutic value of art. There's no better way to relax, whether you're lounging at home, trapped at an airport or beside a gurgling stream. You can take drawing with you.
Teachers will be happy to know that this system has received 'Highly Recommended' ratings from Video Librarian, Booklist, Midwest Book Review, Seattle Times, Washington Post, and many more as well as a nomination for an Emmy, First Place WAVE Award, Videographer Award of Excellence, and was recently adopted by over 100 art teachers as part of the official curriculum for the San Diego County Schools.
