A video about composition! At least not only figure drawing all the time ;-) Unfortunately it's part of a website that want's money for full access. But as far as I've seen on their website: most of the topics are the same as in many free online tutorials.

Collection of Basics, Tips, Hints... helpful or problematic?!
There are many lists out there, that try to collect loads of hopefully helpful tips, hints and basics about drawing. Some of theme really are helpful and good to hear/read. That's ok. Others aim at a certain kind of result and talk about "allways do...", "never do..." without reflecting, that these rules ONLY apply in a certain context and for a certain kind of result. Here it starts to get really problematic...

Especially problematic: When beginners are told, what's wrong - totally ignoring that breaking and extending the so called "rules" is part of creative working!

online material on Art Education / Drawing? - wishlist
The internet is a very big place. There is for sure a lot of good stuff out there. Sometimes it's just hard to find it. So I just have to dig deeper and continue searching. With this in mind I ask myself:
Questions:
What am I looking for? What would I like to find?
What would be something that goes beyond the classical "drawing lessons"?
What do I myself view as classical drawing lessons? That should be defined at some point...
Wishlist:
- Something that questions the "classical view" on what "a good drawing" is.
- Something that shows different approaches to drawing side by side and comparing them rather than propagating seemingly given norms.
- Videos that go beyond technical questions and boyond just showing you "how you should do it".
... to be continued...

online material on Art Education / Drawing?
In a google search some websites on the subject just pop up on top of the list. But: What's their quality beside the promising name?
See for yourself: www.drawspace.com
My first impressions:
- Materials for classes can be viewed online, downloaded as PDF and used or free (see license).
- The "Illustrated Glossary of Drawing Words and Terms" is useful for people with english as their secondary language (like me ;-) ).
- At a first glance: The list of the drawing lessons is very long. It indicates a classical spectrum on the subject of drawing, where especially technical methods (improving skills) are emphasised; drawing by nature, constructive drawing, getting proportions and perspectives right, ... - basically "imitating nature" with a grain of artistic freedom in expressing yourself, dominated by classical views.
- The formula following classic formula is very dominant in almost all lessons
(1) start with a rough sketch and get the proportions right
(2) to refining you drawing more and more...
(3) until everything is perfect
Is this really the only approach promoted on this page?
> These contens can be found in many books about drawing. Some of them go more into detail and some keep it short. But in the end it's all more or less the same. Actually it's hard to find books going into an OTHER direction than this... To be fair: My research on this is only starting. So no rash assumptions ;-)
Open questions:
Are there lessons in this list that go beyond classical views on the subject of drawing?
