Although artist Van James’ book spends much time explaining the hows and whys of drawing instruction in a Waldorf educational curriculum, "Drawing with Hand, Head and Heart: A Natural Approach to Learning the Art of Drawing" (SteinerBooks, $30) is informative for anyone learning the skill. James explains basic concepts and materials and offers instruction on how to draw people, animals and plants, correct a drawing, perspective drawing, figure and portrait sketching, and more. The Honolulu Waldorf High School art teacher shares how incorporating drawing into lessons addresses child and brain development, and includes many works by Waldorf teachers and students that are astounding for their sophistication and beauty.
