Book excerpt: "Mortensen...uses drawings of the human figure as a means to assess the psychological and intellectual development of children...relating the different aspects of figure drawing to different theoretical frames of reference, which include developmental psychology as well as the Kleinian theory of psychosexual development." —British Journal of Psychiatry This work details sex differences in children's drawings and shows how they display a coherent and meaningful pattern, indicative of a fundamental and basic psychosexual identity and not merely of socialization and education. Mortenson also reveals how human figure drawings reflect the drawer's visual impression of others, and the subjective experience of being human.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Figure Drawing and Composition: Being a Number of Hints for the Student and Designer Upon the Treatment of the Human Figure The hints and suggestions which make up this book have been put together in the hope that they may assist the student and designer in their study of the human figure. That acquaintance with the form, construction, and action of the body, so valuable to the artist, and indispensable to him who has to work without models, is perhaps only to be cultivated, as the word itself suggests, by close and continual observation. Books cannot, to the art-student, stand in place of research, nor can any thing said in them be really of value to him, till he has re-discovered it himself. The proper function of such books is then to indicate where the treasure lies and what it is, thus shortening the term of studentship.

Book excerpt: First published in 1907, "The Human Figure" by J. H. Vanderpoel is a classic and timeless instructional book on drawing human figures. Born Johannes van der Poel in 1857 in the Netherlands, he emigrated to the United States in 1869 with his family. Vanderpoel studied at the Chicago Academy of Design, which later became the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and at the Academie Julian in Paris with such artists as Gustave Boulanger and Jules Lefebvre. Based on his drawings while teaching at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, "The Human Figure" has become a standard school resource for learning figure drawing. Every element of capturing the human form in art is covered in comprehensive detail, from the curve of the lips to the connections between the limbs to the differences in drawing men and women. Vanderpoel provides invaluable assistance to both the teacher and the student and instructs in unrivaled detail how to approach shading, proportion, curvature, expression, age, and each independent physical characteristic. Over a hundred years later, "The Human Figure" remains a clear, concise, and brilliant guide for drawing the human body. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Download or read book The Human Figure written by John H. Vanderpoel and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic study of human anatomy for artists remains unrivaled in its meticulously detailed presentation of each fundamental feature of the human figure. Legendary art instructor John H. Vanderpoel compiled this volume toward the end of his tenure at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1907. Ever since, it has been read like a bible by thousands of figure drawing students around the world. The Human Figure is notable for its careful examination of the thousands of features that, together, compose the human body. Every detail is discussed-the gentle overhang of the upper lip; the slight puckering at the corners of the mouth; how the spine appears 'depressed' when juxtaposed with the muscular fullness of the shoulders on either side-and 430 of the author's own charcoal and pencil drawings bring them to life. In addition to cataloging bodily features and their interactions, this book calls your attention to innumerable subtle points of shading, lighting, curvature, proportion, foreshortening, muscular tension, etc. around the body. Vanderpoel also accounts for an array of physical variations across age groups, sexes, and body types, providing examples of each throughout. A time-honored approach to artistically rendering the human figure, this book is a complete course in truly understanding the structure of the human figure.

This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction. THE hints and suggestions which make up this book have been put together in the hope that they may assist the student and designer in their study of the human figure. That acquaintance with the form, construction, and action of the body, so valuable to the artist, and indispensable to him who has to work without models, is perhaps only to be cultivated, as the word itself suggests, by close and continual observation. Books cannot, to the art-student, stand in place of research, nor can anything said in them be really of value to him, till he has re-discovered it himself. The proper function of such books is then to indicate where the treasure lies and what it is, thus shortening the term of studentship. The author knows only too well how great a gap there is between what he here presents to the reader and the figure itself, a gap which the ablest of pens could hardly have hoped to fill up. Further, he has not presumed to write a book upon artistic anatomy, which has only been employed so far as it provides names for what otherwise would have to be called knobs, lumps, and cords, while many of the anatomical facts have merely been introduced to save the reader the trouble of turning to other books. As regards the action of the muscles, very little has been said, since it has been thought that the appearance of the body in its movements and positions is only to be acquired in the ordinary artistic way, by noting the attitude of any figure one may happen to see. In fact, every figure, and not merely the posed model, should serve the draughtsman in this way. All day long one may thus be picking up the only knowledge which is really serviceable. Faces, too, must be as critically examined. If the student be so unfortunate as not to be able to attend a life class, or to hire a model, the best substitute is to draw from photographs of the nude. Drawing from the imagination is also an excellent means of obtaining command of the figure. Imagination is very largely memory however, and so the student needs to see as many figures as he can, so that his head may be full of them, if one may so speak. He should, further, draw at least one figure a day, small or large, no matter what. He should always make the figures mean something, and be something-men fighting, running away, scrambling out of the reach of dogs, peeping round corners, or fat and jolly eating their dinners. The more the draughtsman can lose himself in the action of the figure, the more likely he is to represent it. The following may be studied with advantage. For the drawing of the figure-The Greek vase paintings; the drawings of the Italian masters from Masaccio to Titian, especially Ghirlandaio, Verrocchio, Mantegna, the Lippi, Perugino, Raphael, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Titian. Muntz's Life of Raphael contains a good store of reproductions of the master's drawings, sketches, and finished works. Intermingled with this study one should examine Japanese drawings, particularly those of Hokusai....
