No recordings are known to survive of this series.
The concept of the show began on May 13, 1946, on a trial video version of NBC's "Radio City Matinee" radio program, emceed by Warren Hull. Self-taught artist, Jon Gnagy, spent his segment of the show talking the audience through his live sketching of an old oak tree, and got what would later be known in TV parlance as "traction." By November of 1946, Jon Gnagy had his own 15-minute NBC television series, "You Are an Artist", airing on Thursday nights in what would eventually be called "prime time." He did charcoal drawings of moonlit haystacks, children sledding, geese in flight, etc. At the height of his popularity, Manhattan bartenders handed out paper and pencils to patrons who put down their cocktails to sketch along with ''America's Television Art Instructor.'' After it's NBC run ended after two years, the show continued to be broadcast on WRCA-TV (NYC) under the title of "Draw With Me". On January 9, 1955 the series moved to WPIX-TV (NYC) and changed the name of the series to "Learn To Draw". "Learn To Draw" eventually became a national syndicated series that Jon Gnagy co-produced and marketed to local TV stations to fit into their Saturday or afternoon schedules alongside the likes of Meet Mr. Wizard and Howdy Doody. It continued to appear on local airwaves long after it ceased produced in 1960.
