Book excerpt: Clarion Review: ****The analytical psychology of Carl Gustav Jung, the ideas of Erich Neumann and modern developmental psychology offer excellent guidelines in the search for the significance of children's drawings. Children actually live in the mythological period of our ancestors. Just as our ancestors' growing process of awareness was reflected in mythological stories, rituals, fairy tales and primitive art, a child's process of awareness is reflected in his or her drawings. There are similarities between the products from various periods of art history and the drawings that children make at various ages. In 'Draw me a Picture' children's drawings ranging from their very first scribbles to drawings by adolescents are described and analyzed. And, when doing so, the author repeatedly makes links to the world of children's games. She also offers illustrative examples from her therapeutic practice. This book is a tool for play therapists, art therapists, sandplay therapists and teachers.

Download or read book The Drawings of Leonardo da Vinci Illustrations written by Leonardo da Vinci and published by GEORGE NEWNES LIMITED. This book was released on 1907 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leonardo da Vinci found in drawing the readiest and most stimulating way of self-expression. The use of pen and crayon came to him as naturally as the monologue to an eager and egoistic talker. The outline designs in his "Treatise on Painting" aid and amplify the text with a force that is almost unknown in modern illustrated books. Open the pages at random. Here is a sketch showing "the greatest twist which a man can make in turning to look at himself behind." The accompanying text is hardly needed. The drawing supplies all that Leonardo wished to convey. Unlike Velasquez, whose authentic drawings are almost negligible, pen, pencil, silver-point, or chalk were rarely absent from Leonardo's hand, and although, in face of the Monna Lisa and The Virgin of the Rocks and the St. Anne, it is an exaggeration to say that he would have been quite as highly esteemed had none of his work except the drawings been preserved, it is in the drawings that we realise the extent of "that continent called Leonardo." The inward-smiling women of the pictures, that have given Leonardo as painter a place apart in the painting hierarchy, appear again and again in the drawings. And in the domain of sculpture, where Leonardo also triumphed, although nothing modelled by his hand now remains, we read in Vasari of certain "heads of women smiling." "His spirit was never at rest," says Antonio Billi, his earliest biographer, "his mind was ever devising new things." The restlessness of that profound and soaring mind is nowhere so evident as in the drawings and in the sketches that illustrate the manuscripts. Nature, in lavishing so many gifts upon him, perhaps withheld concentration, although it might be argued that, like the bee, he did not leave a flower until all the honey or nourishment he needed was withdrawn. He begins a drawing on a sheet of paper, his imagination darts and leaps, and the paper is soon covered with various designs. Upon the margins of his manuscripts he jotted down pictorial ideas. Between the clauses of the "Codex Atlanticus" we find an early sketch for his lost picture of Leda. The world at large to-day reverences him as a painter, but to Leonardo painting was but a section of the full circle of life. Everything that offered food to the vision or to the brain of man appealed to him. In the letter that he wrote to the Duke of Milan in 1482, offering his services, he sets forth, in detail, his qualifications in engineering and military science, in constructing buildings, in conducting water from one place to another, beginning with the clause, "I can construct bridges which are very light and strong and very portable." Not until the end of this long letter does he mention the fine arts, contenting himself with the brief statement, "I can further execute sculpture in marble, bronze, or clay, also in painting I can do as much as any one else, whoever he be." Astronomy, optics, physiology, geology, botany, he brought his mind to bear upon all. Indeed, he who undertakes to write upon Leonardo is dazed by the range of his activities. He was military engineer to Caesar Borgia; he occupied himself with the construction of hydraulic works in Lombardy; he proposed to raise the Baptistery of San Giovanni at Florence; he schemed to connect the Loire by an immense canal with the Saone; he experimented with flying-machines; and his early biographers testify to his skill as a musician. Painting and modelling he regarded but as a moiety of his genius. He spared no labour over a creation that absorbed him. Matteo Bandello, a member of the convent of Santa Maria della Grazie, gives the following account of his method when engaged upon The Last Supper. "He was wont, as I myself have often seen, to mount the scaffolding early in the morning and work until the approach of night, and in the interest of painting he forgot both meat and drink.

Download or read book Let Me Draw You a Picture written by Chris Ruisi and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Let Me Paint You A Picture to Achieve Business Success" is a learning and reference tool. Its purpose is to provide the reader with a one page "picture" of a solution to an everyday important issue faced by many of us in the course of "doing business". As the saying goes - "A picture is worth a thousand words" was one of the motivating factors behind the creation of this tool. The reader is given the opportunity to leverage the value provided by a visual communication to help them address the challenges they confront on a regular basis. These "pictures" are practical and relevant since they have all been developed from either my own career experiences or from my work with my coaching clients helping them to find the right solutions to their daily business challenges. In essence the pictures have been developed from experience and not just "theory". The "pictures" also are concise and offer an efficient way to communicate an idea; process or solution. The picture forces the reader to follow it closely like a road map for your mind to follow to arrive at a specific destination in the most efficient way possible. For our purposes, the destination is an answer or a path to a solution. A good friend, colleague and well respected technology and internet expert and thought leader, once wrote: "Humans have a remarkable ability to remember pictures. Research has shown that we remember visual images much easier and better than words". This is further support for the approach taken in the creation of this learning tool. The book has been designed to be an ongoing valuable learning and reference tool for business leaders, entrepreneurs; CEO's and C-Suite executives who all work in a world where speed is a critical element to achieve a competitive advantage leading to success. The book has also been designed to serve as a quick reference tool. What Makes the Book Different? It's concise, to the point and easy to read thereby providing valuable information while saving the reader time It has "shelf life" - it can be referred to often; fold the corner of the pages over; write in the margins; make notes on the pages - use it as often as you can until you need to be a new one! It's designed to make learning not only simple and easy but meaningful, remember the quote I referenced - "Humans have a remarkable ability to remember pictures. Research has shown that we remember visual images much easier and better than words". It can be used as a team training tool - clients have used these "pictures" as agenda items to facilitate the training and education of their teams, especially those who are being groomed for future or expanded leadership responsibilities. The pictures establish a "common ground" for the leader and their team member to work from towards an learning objective

Download or read book Jack Draws Anything written by Jack Henderson and published by Hodder Children's Books. This book was released on 2011-10-06 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a family friend bought one of his drawings for 20p, six-year-old Jack came up with the idea to 'draw anything' in return for donations to the hospital that treats his two-year-old brother. His parents set up a website and thought they might make £100. After two weeks, Jack had over 500 picture requests and had raised over £10,000 for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation. Parents Ed and Rose with Jack, Toby and Noah appeared on the Fern Britton Show and Jack's project was featured on Russell Howard's Good News four times. Coverage by STV news, BBC news, and CBBC Newsround have all helped spread the word about this creative and generous little boy. Jack is slowly but steadily drawing the requested pictures which range from a 'dinosaur diving into a pool of jelly' (#1) to 'my (extremely bald) friend Brian dancing like a crazy man' (#80). He doesn't draw every day, only when he wants to, and his parents estimate that he'll finish at the end of August.

There is, however, one rule that Wilfred's pet has difficulty following: Going whichever way Wilfred wants to go.
