Pencil, Pen and Brush & You Can Draw a Kangaroo
Lot of 2 Softcover Art Instruction Books

This collection features two mid-century instructional art books focused on developing technique through animal subjects. "Pencil, Pen and Brush" by noted sculptor Harvey Weiss is a classic guide to media and form published by Scholastic. Accompanying it is "You Can Draw a Kangaroo," a rare Australian publication from the Commonwealth Government Printer that employs mnemonic poetry and step-by-step geometric breakdowns to teach composition. Both works reflect the modernist educational illustration styles of the 1960s.
