Think crayons are for kids only? You'll change your mind once you see Hawaiian artist Jeffrey Robert's astonishing ability with these basic preschool instruments. Armed only with a box of crayons and a pencil sharpener, Robert ("I like to think of ordinary crayons as a high-tech palette in a box!") produces drawings in a variety of styles here, ranging from simple to extremely complex, including a rendering of a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Providing clear, step-by-step explanations for sharpening and holding crayons, using straight and circular motions, etc., Robert's gentle approach will encourage any artist from beginner to expert to reexamine this childhood pastime. In fact, I think I hear the burnt sienna calling me now… Recommended. Aud: J, H, C, P. (S. Fisher)
