Resources for Artists - Art Education
I've also created a new group for all my information sites which relate to Art Education. You can now find this and other relevant sites at Resources for Artists - Art Education
There are also facilities to bookmark or share these sites with other people and on other social network sites in the right hand column of each site.
A fabulous resource. Thank you for putting this together.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing. I hope you know that.
Katherine, this is a really helpful list of books. Is it too late to add my favourite book of drawings?"Master Drawings from Cave Art to Picasso,"by Terisio Pignatti. I often browse through it. It could well be out of print now, I think I acquired it in the 80s.

I'm always happy to hear about new books which people rate and i'll add them into the book review site which are specific to drawing
ReplyDeleteI do love your squidoo lenses - always incredibly thorough!
ReplyDeleteI found this article today that makes me wonder if we as artists can't get some of our favourites republished. The relevant part is at the very bottom of the article.
