From head to toe, the human form, in all its complexities, is visually simplified to such a degree in this remarkable workbook that even complete beginners will soon be able to draw accurate, well-proportioned faces and figures every time they try. Avoiding complex charts of muscles and bones that are more helpful to doctors than to artists, this book’s refreshing approach teaches anatomy from a cartoonist/illustrator’s point of view. For example, there are many large and small muscles in the neck, all rendered in great detail in most anatomy books, but here, master teacher Christopher Hart shows only the four that are visible and need to be drawn. His clear instruction helps readers to visualize and portray shifting body weight in a pose without the need of a model, and instead of showing a mass of facial muscles and bones, he translates them into the simple planes an artist needs to draw a range of expressive faces.

The author takes readers on an adventure through the human body, winding along the body's various systems and functions such as muscles, nerves, bones and joints, and blood and guts.

Contains easy instructions for making twenty models, manipulatives, and mini-books that will teach students in grades two through four about the human body.

Presents fifteen models designed to introduce students in kindergarten through third grade to the pilgrims, their voyage on the "Mayflower," and their settlement in Plymouth.

Including numerous views, cross-sections, and other diagrams, this entertaining instruction guide includes careful, scientifically accurate line renderings of the body's organs and major systems: skeletal, muscular, nervous, reproductive, and more. Each remarkably clear and detailed illustration is accompanied by concise, informative text and suggestions for coloring. 43 plates.

Sex matters. Yet even deeper than the urge for sex is the desire for love. More than sexual, we are relational: meant for true and intimate relationship with each other and with God.Rather than a ?casual indoor sport,? sex is sacred. And John Paul II?s radical perspective on how we view life, love, and sexuality can transform our relationships into profound experiences of communion.This is a simple introduction to the basic premise of Theology of the Body. It explains how our bodies are symbolic, free, meant for love, and redeemed by Christ. It presents unambiguous reasons for the Church?s teaching on premarital sex, contraception, homosexuality, pornography, and more. And it gives reason to hope that the love we crave so deeply is, in fact, promised us by God?from the beginning.?Theology of the Body Made Simple is dynamite. Reading it can change your life. An awesome job!? ?Adam Morris, Catholic Youth Ministry, Canberra-GoulburnRev. Anthony Percy is a priest of the Archdiocese of Canberra & Goulburn, Australia.
