Reviews of Jon Gnagy Original Learn to Draw Set

Customer Ratings:

Jon Gnagy's TV show was the first show ever broadcast. I watched it as a child in the fifties. He taught art, real art, not painting a variation of the same thing over and over, in ten minutes. At five, I started looking at the book from my brother's kit and learned a lot from the self-explanatory illustrations. Without being able to read, it taught me such basics as perspective, shading and depth. Later, when I could read, I learned even more from it. After a career as an artist, which has spanned almost fifty years, I can honestly say he had more effect on me than any teacher I ever had. I highly recommend this for any upstart.

I started learning to draw with a Jon Gnaggy Learn To Draw Kit 60 years ago. I loved it so remember it well. I bought this and other kits like it, for my grand children. One granddaughter told me she "wants to be an artist" so I sent this kit to her after she was in the hospital, as a get well gift. I hear she likes it. Her mother said, "The package came, and I didn't see it after that. But she said she likes it." She later called me to thank me for it and said she really likes it. I asked what she is doing with it, and she said, "trying to learn to draw."
