The concept assumes the reader is a total beginner, no experience or little experience in drawing. Similar to sitting at the piano for the first time playing a whole note/ half/note, or beginning golf or beginning any activity for the first time. You need a good coach or teacher to direct fundamentals you can practice to improve your skill level. The exercises or calisthenics were designed by Professor/ Art Coach, Douglas A. Eckheart, a 45 year veteran art instructor at Luther College, Decorah, Iowa. Professor Eckheart's philosophy includes, TO DRAW=eye training= new awareness= change therapy= new person.
