Drawing from Nature
"Drawing from nature is discovering the upside down scene through a water drop...noticing how much of a fox is tail...learning how a tree grows and a flower blooms." Drawing land, water, plants and wildlife becomes more than a "how-to" exercise. The author/artist's comments and sketches help young writers as well as artists develop a finer perception of nature's processes and consequences. ©1982 Cooperative Children's Book Center
