Gameplay

[edit]

Drawing Discoveries is an interactive program designed to teach children how to draw while introducing them to the geography and culture of Africa. Through fifteen half-hour, step-by-step drawing lessons, kids learn how to sketch animals and people from three different African regions. The experience is enhanced with QuickTime movies, Swahili language, and a guide to different drawing styles and terminology.[4]

Development

[edit]

Drawing Discoveries was developed by Presage Software, a company founded in 1986.[6]

Reception

Birmingham Post-Herald said "This has a very different feel to it from other art programs we've tried. I think it could definitely help a beginner learn a few basic drawing techniques".[8]
