Todos podemos dibujar

A-Z Editora, 2009. 144 páginas

Dibujar sin mirar, dibujar con cualquier elemento, dibujar de a dos, dibujar con garabatos…todo es posible porque para dibujar no hace falta,… saber dibujar.

Esta es la premisa de Todos podemos dibujar.

Se trata de una obra destinada a estimular la creatividad de los niños, y que pueden compartir con los amigos y con la familia.

Pensado asimismo para un amplio rango de edades, el libro  desplaza el concepto mecánico de aplicar colores a dibujos ya realizados. Propone suscitar de manera lúdica, el potencial plástico que cada persona posee, mediante consignas y actividades de fácil comprensión y atractiva ejecución.

Una experiencia inédita en el mundo de los libros para niños, sobre todo, de aquellos que piensan que no saben o pueden dibujar.
