I rave about this book to my students, and have started showing a film about Ruskin as part of my PRB lecture (on the "Gothic Critique of Modernity"). I too used it frequently as a child and have no idea what happened to my old, battered copy. There's a paperback edition available (still, I think), and I highly recommend it. One could do lots worse than to follow the program and see it through.Owlfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373358232893937182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2344548830618247839.post-45012496072234545832008-08-25T10:49:00.000-06:002008-08-25T10:49:00.000-06:00How have I never heard of this book before?

I was so delighted to learn that Ruskin was an artist and critic who wrote about how to see and draw as an artist. I recall the book on the shelf where I planned to read it myself--but you found it first and made it your constant companion. I love the beautiful painting you included in your post. <BR/>MamanThorsprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657577541627403938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2344548830618247839.post-56256497848282063172008-08-23T11:28:00.000-06:002008-08-23T11:28:00.000-06:00Isn't it interesting how our early experiences imp...Isn't it interesting how our early experiences impress themselves on us so profoundly and it is only when we look back on them we realize how formative they have been?<BR/><BR/>If your mom got you a Ruskin drawing book she must have known she had a precocious child.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870791842615196439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2344548830618247839.post-92029598493899784352008-08-22T21:41:00.000-06:002008-08-22T21:41:00.000-06:00That happened to me this year with a novel called ...That happened to me this year with a novel called Old Faithful from the turn of the century.
