Book Drawing Lines

Download or read book Drawing Lines written by Paul Combs and published by Fire Engineering Books. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immersed in our modern fire service community is Paul Combs. Paul is the "then what" for so many of us. Just when we are leafing through the pages of Fire Engineering, Fire Rescue and Firefighter Nation-we see one of "those" drawings. The drawings that have helped every one of us with short attention spans (we love drawings) to learn...understand...pay attention and to not drift. It seems that just when we may be veering left or right-there are one of those priceless little drawings that reminds of what we really need to be focused on. It's kinda like a friend reminding you to do something...but without "saying it" in front of everyone else. Just between you, me, us and Paul. It's our little secret. He knows what the issues are. He knows where we need to be reminded. He knows when we need to be scolded...and he knows when we need to be jacked up against the wall, blasted and smacked. He knows. He knows because he is one of us. Paul rides the front seat, treats the patients, extricates the victims and crawls down the halls doing the same stuff we do each day. As you enjoy this book-and I promise that you will, take mental "screen shots" of his art/drawings/cartoons...the many "helping us make choices reminders" ...the ones that really resonate to you personally. The ones that stick. The ones that may help you not "blow" that intersection of choice, so that you can continue building on the many positive differences you have already made. So sit back, start turning these pages and enjoy Paul's mix of artistic talent and hands-on veteran firefighting experiences. Those experiences and opinions that make us all smile, think and most importantly, help guide us to do what we signed up to do—making a positive difference to those who need us...right now. —Deputy Chief Billy Goldfeder, EFO, Loveland-Symmes Fire Department, Ohio

Book Drawing Lines in the Forest

    Book Details:
  • Author : Kevin R. Marsh
  • Publisher : University of Washington Press
  • Release : 2009-11-23
  • ISBN : 0295989866
  • Pages : 263 pages

Download or read book Drawing Lines in the Forest written by Kevin R. Marsh and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2009-11-23 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing boundaries around wilderness areas often serves a double purpose: protection of the land within the boundary and release of the land outside the boundary to resource extraction and other development. In Drawing Lines in the Forest, Kevin R. Marsh discusses the roles played by various groups—the Forest Service, the timber industry, recreationists, and environmentalists—in arriving at these boundaries. He shows that pragmatic, rather than ideological, goals were often paramount, with all sides benefiting. After World War II, representatives of both logging and recreation use sought to draw boundaries that would serve to guarantee access to specific areas of public lands. The logging industry wanted to secure a guaranteed supply of timber, as an era of stewardship of the nation's public forests gave way to an emphasis on rapid extraction of timber resources. This spawned a grassroots preservationist movement that ultimately challenged the managerial power of the Forest Service. The Wilderness Act of 1964 provided an opportunity for groups on all sides to participate openly and effectively in the political process of defining wilderness boundaries. The often contentious debates over the creation of wilderness areas in the Cascade Mountains in Oregon and Washington represent the most significant stages in the national history of wilderness conservation since World War II: Three Sisters, North Cascades and Glacier Peak, Mount Jefferson, Alpine Lakes, French Pete, and the state-wide wilderness acts of 1984.

Book Drawing on Architecture

Download or read book Drawing on Architecture written by Jordan Kauffman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How architectural drawings emerged as aesthetic objects, promoted by a network of galleries, collectors, and institutions, and how this changed the understanding of architecture. Prior to the 1970s, buildings were commonly understood to be the goal of architectural practice; architectural drawings were seen simply as a means to an end. But, just as the boundaries of architecture itself were shifting at the end of the twentieth century, the perception of architectural drawings was also shifting; they began to be seen as autonomous objects outside the process of building. In Drawing on Architecture, Jordan Kauffman offers an account of how architectural drawings—promoted by a network of galleries and collectors, exhibitions and events—emerged as aesthetic objects and ultimately attained status as important cultural and historical artifacts, and how this was both emblematic of changes in architecture and a catalyst for these changes. Kauffman traces moments of critical importance to the evolution of the perception of architectural drawings, beginning with exhibitions that featured architectural drawings displayed in ways that did not elucidate buildings but treated them as meaningful objects in their own right. When architectural drawings were seen as having intrinsic value, they became collectible, and Kauffman chronicles early collectors, galleries, and sales. He discusses three key exhibitions at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York; other galleries around the world that specialized in architectural drawings; the founding of architecture museums that understood and collected drawings as important cultural and historical artifacts; and the effect of the new significance of architectural drawings on architecture and architectural history. Drawing on interviews with more than forty people directly involved with the events described and on extensive archival research, Kauffman shows how architectural drawings became the driving force in architectural debate in an era of change.

Book Lines  Marks  and Drawings

Download or read book Lines Marks and Drawings written by Craig Allen Subler and published by DelMonico Books. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From distinctive portraits and complex photographic tableaux to YouTube sensations, the work of prominent African photographer Roger Ballen is given a fresh perspective in this volume. For nearly half a century Roger Ballen has been shooting black-and-white film--a member of the last generation to work in that medium. He started his career taking portraits of rural Afrikaaners in their homes and has lately been moving toward more staged sets, and embellishing his photographs with expressionistic graffiti-type drawings. This retrospective book follows the development of line and drawing in Ballen's body of work, which is often characterized by complex interior arrangements of people, animals, and furnishings. In more recent work the artist has come out from behind the camera lens to engage with line more directly--including a luminous series of photographs that began with drawing on glass. Psychologically edgy and seductively beautiful images result. This volume also addresses the use of drawing and line in Ballen's newest work in videography. This astonishing collection reveals the breadth of Ballen's work, which moves fluidly between photography and drawing, harshness and beauty, raw expression and technical prowess.

  • Author : Kira Davis

  • Release : 2023-01-25
  • ISBN : 1737176351
  • Pages : 196 pages

Download or read book Drawing Lines written by Kira Davis and published by Fidelis Publishing. LLC. This book was released on 2023-01-25 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kira Davis has built a brand on reaching out to the other side, on giving people space to be wrong, the space to discuss, the space to tolerate. I sincerely believe there are many reasonable people in America from all ideologies who are still willing to talk with each other, people who are quite happy to live and let live.Unfortunately, none of those people are controlling the conversations right now. Trump's presidency has burned away the niceties that tenuously held our political ecosystem together. We've had a front-row seat to the strategy of the Left. We're seeing the lengths they will go to and the lies they let stand in service of crushing 50 percent of this nation.The onslaught of dishonesty has been relentless. The progressive left isn't happy to just let us live with our own values, our own media, our own cultural verticals. They seek to completely destroy ideological and financial competition. They seek unity through complete elimination of the other side. There are times for compromise and times to draw a line in the sand, and friends, the latter has arrived. It is time to draw our lines as Christians and Conservatives.

  • Author : Erich Hatala Matthes
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2021-11-08
  • ISBN : 019753757X
  • Pages : 185 pages

Download or read book Drawing the Line written by Erich Hatala Matthes and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we still watch Woody Allen's movies? Can we still laugh at Bill Cosby's jokes? Woody Allen, Kevin Spacey, Dave Chappelle, Louis C. K., J.K. Rowling, Michael Jackson, Roseanne Barr. Recent years have proven rife with revelations about the misdeeds, objectional views, and, in some instances, crimes of popular artists. Spurred in part by the #metoo movement, and given more access than ever thanks to social media and the internet in general, the public has turned an alert and critical eye upon the once-hidden lives of previously cherished entertainers. But what should we members of the public do, think, and feel in response to these artists' actions or statements? It's a predicament that many of us face: whether it's possible to disentangle the deeply unsettled feelings we have toward an artist from how we respond to the art they produced. As consumers of art, and especially as fans, we have a host of tricky moral question to navigate: do the moral lives of artists affect the aesthetic quality of their work? Is it morally permissible for us to engage with or enjoy that work? Should immoral artists and their work be canceled? Most of all, can we separate an artist from their art? In Drawing the Line, Erich Hatala Matthes employs the tools of philosophy to offer insight and clarity to the ethical questions that dog us. He argues that it doesn't matter whether we can separate the art from the artist, because we shouldn't. While some dismiss the lives of artists as if they are irrelevant to the artist's work, and others instrumentalize artwork, treating it as nothing more than a political tool, Matthes argues both that the lives of artists can play an important role in shaping our moral and aesthetic relationship to the artworks that we love and that these same artworks offer us powerful resources for grappling with the immorality of their creators. Rather than shunning art made by those who have been canceled, shamed, called out, or even arrested, we should engage with it all the more thoughtfully and learn from the complexity it forces us to confront. Recognizing the moral and aesthetic relationships between art and artist is crucial to determining when and where we should draw the line when good artists do bad things.

  • Publisher : Workman Publishing
  • Release : 2021-08-31
  • ISBN : 1523515279
  • Pages : 105 pages

Download or read book The Reverse Coloring BookTM written by Kendra Norton and published by Workman Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coloring books became a thing when adults discovered how relaxing and meditative they were. Jigsaw puzzles roared back into popularity as an immersive activity, not to mention a great alternative to television. How exciting is it, then, to introduce an activity that tops them both: reverse coloring, which not only confers the mindful benefits of coloring and puzzling but energizes you to feel truly creative, even when you're weary and just want to zone out. It's so simple, yet so profoundly satisfying. Each page in The Reverse Coloring Book has the colors, and you draw the lines. Created by the artist Kendra Norton, these beautiful and whimsical watercolors provide a gentle visual guide so open-ended that the possibilities are limitless. Trace the shapes, draw in figures, doodle, shade, cover an area with dots. Be realistic, with a plan, or simply let your imagination drift, as if looking a clouds in the sky. Each page is an invitation to slow down, let go, and thoughtfully (or thoughtlessly) let your pen find its way over the image. The Reverse Coloring Book includes 50 original works of art, printed on sturdy paper that's single-sided and perforated. And unlike with traditional coloring books, all you need is a pen.
