Perspective - A Guide for Artists, Architects and Designers


Perspective - A Guide for Artists, Architects and Designers

This classic study of perspective is an absolute must for any serious students of design, benefiting amateurs and professionals alike. Dozens of examples are illustrated, including parallel, angular, and oblique perspectives, as well as ascending and descending planes.

 Other images show how to create a “cone of rays,” and add depth and realism to curved objects. The techniques can be used for laying out a garden, predicting the shadow effects of a tall building, and accurately capturing the interplay of angles, light, and shadow.

Mirror of the World : A New History of Art


Mirror of the World : A New History of Art
2007 | PDF | 496 pages | 6.2 MB

A vivid and compelling history of human artistic achievements, from the first stone fashioned into a figure by a hunter-gatherer to the latest new media and installation work.

With remarkable clarity, Julian Bell tells the story of how art has evolved through the millennia and across the world. He follows the changing trends in the making and significance of art in different cultures, and explains why the art of the day looked and functioned as it did. 

Key images and objects—some of them familiar works of art; others, less known but equally crucial to the story—act as landmarks on the journey, focal points around which the discussion always centers. 

Along the way, Bell answers fundamental questions such as "What is art and where does it start?" and "Why do humans make it and how does it serve them?"Previous histories tended to focus only on the masterpieces of Western art, in the process excluding the work of women or non-Western artists, or else considering developments around the world as separate, unrelated phenomena. 

Bell's achievement is to take a global perspective, bringing the distinct stories together in one convincing narrative. He draws insightful and inspired connections between different continents and cultures and across the millennia, which results in a rich and seamless introduction to the world of visual creativity.

Hundreds of carefully selected illustrations show how artists from different ages and societies often shared the same formal, technical, and aesthetic concerns, while others took divergent paths when their vision dictated it. 460 illustrations, 300 in color.

L'aquarelle : De l'émotion à la création


L'aquarelle : De l'émotion à la création
 106 pages | PDF | 28,3 MB

L'aquarelle, de l'émotion à la création. L'aquarelle est un médium en mouvement, un appel à créer et une source de plaisir accessible à tous. C'est là le credo de Joëlle Krupa-Astruc, qui, au fil de ces pages, guide vos pas et vos pinceaux à la découverte de cette technique picturale fascinante, mais parfois capricieuse. 

Aiguisant vos sens et votre intuition créative, l'artiste vous propose tout d'abord de vous familiariser avec les outils et d'acquérir les bases propres à l'aquarelle : choix du matériel, préparation du papier, méthodes d'application de la peinture et de l'eau, élaboration d'une composition, etc. 

Puis cinq réalisations, détaillées pas à pas et abondamment illustrées, vous invitent à mettre en pratique vos acquis, à votre rythme. Du paysage au portrait, en passant par la texture de la pierre et l'éclat de la végétation, chacune est le reflet d'une expérience, d'une situation donnée où l'artiste a dû trouver les clés picturales et créer un langage en accord avec l'eau et le pigment. La technique et le récit se trouvent mêlés en lieu intime, où la création est associée au plaisir.
