"David can draw a collie better than anybody else!" Such peer acclaim and encouragement generate incentive. Contemporary methods of art instruction (freedom of expression, experimentation, self-evaluation of competence and growth) provide a vigorous, fresh-air approach for which we must all be grateful...The use of this book should in no way be compulsory. Rather, it should be available to anyone who wants to try another way of developing skills. Perhaps he will then be encouraged to produce more significant accomplishments when his friend says, "David can draw a collie better than anybody else!"
