Mona Brookes’ is the author of the internationally acclaimed “Drawing with Children – A Creative Method for Adult Beginners, Too.”  and “Drawing for Older Children and Teens.”  To purchase either of these books please follow the links above.  

Mona Brookes’ “Drawing with Children” and “Drawing for Older Children and Teens,” are two well respected books on the process of creativity in regards to realistic drawing. In these books, Brookes highlights the impact of visual learning on children’s learning and development. With rapidly changing times, she emphasizes the need for parents, educators, and mentors to look at the current curricula and focus on providing the key competencies that will serve as a platform for future learning.

She feels that conventional teaching methods have focused too strongly on verbally delivered curricula, which only serves those who respond well to that mode of learning. This has undervalued children with natural visual competencies and those with average skills by not teaching them how to capitalize on their strengths.

Drawing, like speaking, is a natural form of human communication and can be used to directly access all subjects and support other modes of learning. The Monart® Method teaches key thinking skills in visual perception, visual-spatial organization, and visual attention to detail and is considered “fun” and “play” without the baggage of fear of failure.

The Monart® Method has been effective in helping children with learning disabilities, auditory processing issues, and English as a Second Language to acquire the skills necessary to excel in academic subjects, while also increasing their confidence and self-esteem.
