Download or read book Light and Shade written by Mrs. Mary P. Merrifield and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Form,” writes the author, “is developed by means of light and shade; without these every object would appear flat.” Originally published in the mid-nineteenth century, this classic approach to three-dimensional drawing was the first book to provide art students with instructions for correctly illustrating perspective outlines of various objects. An art historian noted for her authoritative reference works, Merrifield clearly demonstrates the principles of light and shade by revealing the effects of common daylight, sunshine, and candle or artificial light on geometrical solids. Her simple explanations are accompanied by illustrations of cubes, prisms, pyramids, cylinders, spheres, ovals, and cones. As useful and practical today as it was when first published well over a century ago, Light and Shade provides beginning and advanced art students with valuable insights into effective drawing and sketching.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Light and Shade: And Their Applications Inspired by a conviction that there is much more to the art and science of lighting than is commonly practised, I began, several years ago, a study of the appearances of objects. Attention was naturally directed toward those factors which influence light, shade, and color, because vision is accomplished through the distinction of differences in brightness and color. In other words, the aim throughout the study has been to unearth the fundamentals of lighting. It early became evident that the problem of lighting, as affecting the appearances of objects, could be divided into two parts, namely, the considerations of the quality and of the distribution of light. The former chiefly affects color and the latter, light and shade. Color has been treated in a separate volume and, insofar as lighting, vision, and the appearances of objects are concerned, this book is a companion to the preceding one. It has been difficult to transmit to others much of the data that have been garnered from observations and experiments. One of the greatest difficulties is encountered in illustrating the discussions, owing to the extreme limitations of the photographic process as compared with the eye - the recording apparatus of prime importance in the study of light and shade as attempted here. I am unaware of the existence of any treatise in which a general analytical discussion of light and shade has been presented, therefore I believe this book will be helpful in many arts.

Download or read book The Lampshade written by Mark Jacobson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few growing up in the aftermath of World War II will ever forget the horrifying reports that Nazi concentration camp doctors had removed the skin of prisoners to makes common, everyday lampshades. In The Lampshade, bestselling journalist Mark Jacobson tells the story of how he came into possession of one of these awful objects, and of his search to establish the origin, and larger meaning, of what can only be described as an icon of terror. Jacobson’s mind-bending historical, moral, and philosophical journey into the recent past and his own soul begins in Hurricane Katrina–ravaged New Orleans. It is only months after the storm, with America’s most romantic city still in tatters, when Skip Henderson, an old friend of Jacobson’s, purchases an item at a rummage sale: a very strange looking and oddly textured lampshade. When he asks what it’s made of, the seller, a man covered with jailhouse tattoos, replies, “That’s made from the skin of Jews.” The price: $35. A few days later, Henderson sends the lampshade to Jacobson, saying, “You’re the journalist, you find out what it is.” The lampshade couldn’t possibly be real, could it? But it is. DNA analysis proves it. This revelation sends Jacobson halfway around the world, to Yad Vashem in Jerusalem and to the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany, where the lampshades were supposedly made on the order of the infamous “Bitch of Buchenwald,” Ilse Koch. From the time he grew up in Queens, New York, in the 1950s, Jacobson has heard stories about the human skin lampshade and knew it to be the ultimate symbol of Nazi cruelty. Now he has one of these things in his house with a DNA report to prove it, and almost everything he finds out about it is contradictory, mysterious, shot through with legend and specious information. Through interviews with forensic experts, famous Holocaust scholars (and deniers), Buchenwald survivors and liberators, and New Orleans thieves and cops, Jacobson gradually comes to see the lampshade as a ghostly illuminator of his own existential status as a Jew, and to understand exactly what that means in the context of human responsibility. One question looms as his search goes on: what to do with the lampshade—this unsettling thing that used to be someone? It is a difficult dilemma to be sure, but far from the last one, since once a lampshade of human skin enters your life, it is very, very hard to forget.

Download or read book Mastering Light Shade in Watercolor written by Kim Seng Ong and published by International Artist Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few students realize that in order to give their paintings a luminous glow they must also manipulate the darks. Ong Kim Seng is a master of this method and in this book he shows how to do it. He follows a stimulating, logical progression that begins with materials and works enjoyably through planning a light-filled composition, using color to intensify light, devising areas of color contrast and the best ways to use tonal values to capture the light in a dramatic, evocative way. Then we come to the crux of the book. While he demonstrates how to produce lively, light filled paintings Ong Kim Seng also shows the important role that shadows play in the scheme of things. Through a series of beautiful demonstrations he shows how to manipulate the shadows to create luminosity. He shows how to mix the color of shadows and suggests alternate approaches for different paintings. Ong Kim Seng then shows how to guide the viewer's eye through the painting to the center of interest using light and shade and a battery of interesting ideas, from simplification to amplification. He devotes a chapter to the concepts of harmony, unity and balance and even shows how to solve problems in finished works. While all this solid art instruction is taking place, Ong Kim Seng never lets the student forget that there is more to a work of art than technique. Multiple step-by-step demonstrations, examples, ideas, inspiring storytelling and a gallery of gorgeous paintings set the seal on an exceptional book. Book jacket.
