JON GNAGY'S LEARN TO DRAW

This is an excerpt from Jon Gnagy's {Mr. "Learn-To-Draw"} short-lived syndicated series of the '50s. He was based in the New York area, and operated a art store in New Jersey; he was a fixture of N.Y. television for over 20 years.As the unofficial Baby-Boomer( IRA GALLEN )Guru of my Television Collecting Generation I knew it was the right time to create a Video Network for Baby-Boomers Only.

Kids shows in those days taught kids how to be smart and creative.  Now, they teach them nothing, and kids are just watching stupid crap.

I looked forward to this every week, I learned perspective from Jon, and so much more, had his book. I learned way more than any elementary or high school art teacher. with so many channels to choose from these days, there's still no decent art programs as good as this one. They should re-air these. I loved the Gotee

I use to get up early every Saturday morning, back in the early 60's to watch two shows- The Buster Keaton Show and Jon Gnagy's Learn to Draw. Some 12 years later I graduated from college with a BA in Art, and now I am a self-employed graphic artist and photographer. Thanks, Jon!

And to those who complain about what their children are watching on TV today... The TV isn't a replacement for parental involvement. . Jon's "Learn to Draw" sets are still available for purchase. Check Amazon!

I used to own one of his Learn To Draw booklets. I may have thrown it away unintentionally. I rather miss that booklet. It was an awesome teaching tool.

I watched Mr. Gnagy all the time as a kid - I DID learn to draw from him! I learned my science from Mr. Wizard and to exercise from Jack Lallane (passed today, sadly).

@abomb987 - yeah, no one knew how to draw in the old days... ;-)
