Dear Andrea
Two books which at first glance may seem to be over the top for
'elementary' drawing and yet that is where it should all start:
1. Joseph Beuys - Thinking is Form (1987?) Thames and Hudson
2. Gearge Lakoff and Mark Johnson - Philosophy in the Flesh (2001)
There are others of course.
Good luck
David

In the U.S., art education is most often ghettoized in art classes,
with a
strong emphasis on crafts and manipulation of materials rather than
drawing.
I have been very impressed with the resources on drawing I have found
on the
internet emanating from the U.K.
I am in the process of writing a proposal for a an integrated drawing
program, which would assist elementary classroom teachers in
developing
their students* drawing skills in relationship to existing curriculum.
I*d
appreciate any further advice or resources you might have that could
help me
in this project.
Thanks very much,
Andrea Kantrowitz
