4.0 out of 5 stars Good for advanced courses, October 17, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Drawing and Rendering for Theatre: A Practical Course for Scenic, Costume, and Lighting Designers (Paperback)
I ordered this book because a previous instructor recommended it, but I find it to be a little to advance for my class of students, many of which have never taken a college level art course and have little to no experience of perspective or a still life drawing. I haven't looked through the entire book, but I would definitely describe it as a book for students (and professors)with more advanced skills in rendering.
