Jim Leggitt

Jim Leggitt, FAIA took his first drawing lesson at five years old, courtesy of TV. There were two 'how to draw' programs being broadcast in 1955. Winky Dink and You and Jon Gnagy's Learn to Draw gave Jim his first taste of a cutting-edge combination of technology and hand drawing while tracing televised drawings onto clear vinyl placed directly onto his black and white TV screen. Fifty years later, Jim is now reintroducing Jon Gnagy's passion for teaching traditional drawing techniques, but with 21st century digital technology, high-speed computers and 3D SketchUp models as tools to assist in the drawing process.
