Book excerpt: As a working artist, Leo Buckley was invited to talk to the sixth grade of a local primary school. The resulting question and answer session revealed an enormous appetite of the students for some simple rules to enable them to improve their drawing abilities. They had been unable to find this information, at their level, in any book in the bookshops; saying that the only available books either assumed knowledge which they did not have, or else treated the topics so briefly as to be scarcely helpful. As result, Leo returned with a few instructive talks on some of the basic principles of drawing. Using feedback from the pupils and teachers, the talks were developed into a fairly comprehensive series on the subject which soon become in great demand by other schools. For many years, Leo has presented the talks to schools covering a wide variety of schools and pupils and, eventually, including adult classes. Throughout this extended period the lessons were modified, adjusted in contents and rearranged into the most logical sequence to better suit the need of this widening range of students. At the frequent request of teachers and students (of all age groups) Leo examined the possibility of compiling a book which would follow the successful pattern of his lectures ; even to the extent of displaying the illustrations and text on opposite pages as in a “chalk and talk” classroom environment. This innovative (and easy to follow) method simplified the presentation enormously and he found that the lectures almost immediately fell into book form.
