This was one of my first Kindle books. It seemed like a great idea at the time. The only thing I can think of to say is, what if you were only able to talk to your art teacher on the phone. Not Skype, just landline type phone. There would be no illustrations to show how it is done. That is how this book attempts to teach art. Just words. There wasn't even a passion from the teacher. Just deadpan instructions. Boring.

When I was in high school, I thought all the teachers felt sorry for me. That was why I got A's in art and music. Then they decided I was so advanced that I was placed in senior lever art while only a freshman. That might have worked for me had the teacher actually taught. Instead, he wrote on the chalkboard all the notes we were to copy down. The notebook was to be the grade in this class. ART!!! When I brought home the note that said I was failing this class my mom went through the roof. She made me stay after school every day to catch up with that notebook. I didn't fail that class but I did learn a lot about my abilities and lack thereof. I had no problems with creativity. I was not good at taking notes, even when they were spelled out in front of me.

This book brought that nightmare to mind. I am glad I got it for free. I can't imagine spending $2.99 for this non-art book.

I read this "Vook" about 9 years ago and was disappointed. A "vook" was supposed to be an ebook enhanced with text, pictures or video etc but none of the "vooks" I read had anything but text. The cover is the only image you will see. They are strangely, just like regular books that only have text. I thought I would check one last time, hoping they had been updated and made better aka "enhanced". No such luck. This "vook" is exactly the same as it was in 2011. I did enjoy the information and maybe got a little bit more out of it than I did the first time. It just takes a lot of visualizing of the information and some images would have been very useful. I do understand the information better this time around because of other print books I have (with illustrations and photographs) and from classes I have taken. Now I get it. I'll be deleting this one off of my kindle now to make room for more valuable texts.

Nice for a short book. Not enough content.
