3-Dimensional Illustration/Designing With Paper, Clay, Casts, Wood, Assemblage, Plastics, Fabric, Metal and Food by Ellen Rixford $55.00, Hardcover, 176 pages
One of the most popular drawing guides ever published, The Art of Drawing has been an informative and thorough guide to several generations of aspiring artists. For fifty years, Willy Pogany has given the main principles of drawing in a simple, constructive way. By following the sequences laid out in the lessons, students quickly master the art of drawing. As a further aid, Pogany gives a complete anatomical description of the body for each section, including a list of all bones and a description of the muscles and their uses. The Art of Drawing provides a complete drawing system and includes hundreds of illustrations.
Written for artists, illustrators,and designers at all levels of ability, Basic Perspective for Artists is directed toward those who have missed (or avoided) learning about perspective and now regret this gap in their artistic education. Keith West begins by outlining the basic principles of the subject in a chapter written primarily for the beginner. He then explores these principles through the use of careful explanatory diagrams and an extensive range of examples drawn from both life and the imagination. His concluding chapter on anatomy and proportion provides invaluable guidance for those who render the human figure. West has a clear, engaging way of presenting the material , and the illustrations are appealing and often humorous.
Modeling - building, operating, collecting models of all kinds - involves people from many walks of life. From "folk" to highly trained professionals, from skilled artisans to dreamers, modeling is an important means of self-expression and of contact with and understanding of the world. In Remaking the World, James Roy King weaves together strands of thought creating a tapestry that mirrors John Dewey's pragmatism of sufficiencies. King uses the concept of activity sets - relatively stable combinations of activities that characterize every large-scale human enterprise - to explain how modeling can help people make sense of the world around them. The author also looks at working with small sizes and dealing with a variety of technical details, problems related to collecting and displaying models, and their commercial and aesthetic aspects. Appendixes give information about manufacturers of kits and modeling organizations. --This text refers to the hardcover edition of this title.
