5.0 out of 5 stars The kids ask to watch this one!, February 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Growing Up Well - Squiggles, Dots and Lines: A Kid's Video Guide to Drawing and Creativity Featuring Illustrator Ed Emberley (DVD)

We bought this as a Chirstmas present for our 4 and 6 yr. olds and they love it. It has really helped them feel more confident in their drawing and creativity. They have been able to apply many of the concepts presented to their own art work. I would recommend this to any parent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Teaches the basics, January 3, 2003

This review is from: Growing Up Well - Squiggles, Dots and Lines: A Kid's Video Guide to Drawing and Creativity Featuring Illustrator Ed Emberley [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This tape is really good for the begginer. It's well filmed and easy to understand. My parents bought it for me for Christmas and it's helped me a lot. I also recommend all of Mark Kistler's books and tapes and a cute book that can inspire any young artist (The Butterfly by Singh). I got many other presents, but these were the best.

This review is from: Kidvidz: Squiggles, Dots and Lines (DVD)

I'm mystified by the positive reviews here. I borrowed this at the library, and I'm glad I am glad I didn't pay $10 for it. The fact that it was 1980s and bad child acting with bad music did not really bother my child, because he does not watch any TV so any video is a treat, but 80% of the video is introduction and fluff and the substance (the alphabet of drawing) when they finally get to it, is rushed. It would have been better to develop the alphabet over a few lessons with lots of examples, but that might have taken more than 20 minutes. Clearly the video was made back when video production was still expensive and they obviously had a very tight budget. Doubtless there are hours of better instruction online now, some appropriate for kids, and I aim to find some of it. Bottom line: library item as long as you don't have high expectations.
