| Publisher Description: Ask any adult to draw a picture... few can do so beyond a third grade level. In most places around the world, children stop drawing by the end of elementary school. There are multiple reasons for this, but most importantly, there are more reasons to continue drawing daily, at every age. We live in a visual world, graphic representation our original language. Human advances are directly tied to the development of visual processing and fine-motor skills. Both are necessary to draw, and precursors for conscious awareness and visualization. In the Spring of 2002, Matthew Schlueb launched the "Why learn to draw?" initiative, to champion childhood curiosity and discovery through drawing. Slowing down to actively look around, then coordinating hand and eye with pencil and paper, re-creating the essence of a thing enhances perceptual sensitivities, spatial comprehension and cognitive development. Those who can draw think differently communicate clearly innovate easily |
