'Where there is no Artist'
Development Drawings and how to use them
Simple to use-requires no modern technology
Unique combination of copy book and visual aids
Second edition now with two free CD ROMS
Visual aids can provide information, provoke discussion and discovery, and make difficult ideas easy to understand. They can also improve accessibility of a book or a poster simply by making it look more interesting.
This new edition of Petra Röhr-Rouendaal’s best-selling manual contains more than 1,200 drawings – over 700 more than the previous edition. These drawings relate to a wide range of educational and health issues, and the book also contains advice on copying, enlarging, and otherwise changing the illustrations, without using special equipment. There is also advice on pre-testing materials, to make sure their message will be understood by the intended audience. This book describes (with practical examples) different types of visual aids which can be used in a participatory way.
Two free CD-ROMs are now also included so that the user can read the introductory text material electronically, and can print any of the illustrations, or copy and paste them into new documents.
Indispensable for fieldworkers, teachers, and others who wish to produce appropriate illustrations in the community for educational purposes.
Praise for Where There Is No Artist…
The world's best illustrator for development has created…an unparalleled resource for anyone who needs to communicate about health, development, and social issues. Every field worker, International Extension College officer and NGO should have a copy.’ Bob Linney, Heath Images.
‘Facilitating a workshop with community members using this book is a wonderful experience. [Participants] can produce their own visual materials exactly tailored to their situations…The updated ‘Where There Is No Artist’ is even better than the original, with more pictures, a CD and examples of visual aids done by workshop participants.’ Gill Gordon, Senior Programme Officer, International HIV/AIDS Alliance.
‘Petra's drawings appear so simple, yet they are all carefully designed to convey a huge range of feelings, thoughts and actions. This collection will enable others to harness and build on her wonderful skills, to create their own images, uniquely relevant to their own context. A must-have part of any community worker's tool-kit.’
Dr Alice Welbourn, Chair, UK Board of Trustees, International Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS.
‘[Petra’s drawings] always work as discussion starters – the humour and Petra’s passionate interest in the issues gives a real spark to any discussion…her pictures turn training manuals into something lively and fun – people pick up a Petra illustrated manual and they don’t put it down quickly!…I’ve seen Petra’s pictures inspire other artists all over the world…[this manual] is an amazing resource for anyone working in the participatory education field.’ Ross Kidd, Consultant, Participatory Education and Evaluation Research.
