Gr 7 Up—These books are definitely not for beginners or dilettantes. Prior knowledge and a deep interest in creating art are a prerequisite to using the volumes with any degree of success. The titles also require a substantial investment in equipment and materials. Fashion Drawing describes numerous kinds of specialist implements used to draw, as well as different kinds of paper. Digital Art requires the purchase of a digital art program, and Oil Painting suggests a wide variety of paints, brushes, canvases, easels, etc. In Fashion Drawing, very elaborate instructions are given for everything from drawing the human hand to drawing houndstooth check and herringbone tweed. This set would be most useful in school libraries where there is a strong, highly focused art curriculum that deals with the specific subjects.
