Reviews for Drawing with Hand, Head and Heart: A Natural Approach to Learning the Art of Drawing

Van James helps us to understand visual art by enabling us to enter into the world of form and color as such, not simply as the media to depict representational reality...he guides us into developing new ways of seeing. --Hans-Joachim Mattke, international Waldorf school consultant, author, actor, and stage director
