Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature in Ornament The scope of my subject explains, and justifies I hope, a volume exceeding in bulk the three former text-books of this series rolled into one. That scope is perhaps sufficiently expressed in the words Nature in Ornament. It may, however, be'as well to say here that my aim has been, not so much to show the Obvious adaptability of plant form to the purpose of ornament (which has been done already, more than once, and more or less adequately), as to demonstrate the natural development of ornament from nature, to show its constant relation to natural form, and to deduce from the practice of past-masters of the craft of design something like principles, which may put the student in the way of turning nature to account in ornament of his own.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature and Ornament: Nature, the Raw Material of Design This volume is one of two which, taken together, will more than cover the ground of my "Nature in Ornament," first published in 1891. When it came to the consideration of a fourth edition of the book, I determined to make good a deficiency I had always felt in it, and to treat more fully than before the ornamental aspect of nature generally, and especially of natural growth in plant form. Starting with that intention, I have ended in writing two entirely new volumes of which this is the first. The general purpose of them is to show the development of ornament from natural form, and its constant relation to nature; and further to deduce from the practice of past masters something like guiding principles to help the student in making his own best use of natural form in ornament. The special purpose of this volume is to illustrate as fully as possible the decorative and ornamental character of natural growth, and its infinite suggestiveness as the starting point in design. There will be found among its illustrations many details of plant growth which can hardly fail to be of use to the designer in his work; but their aim is not to do for him what he can only do for himself. To make sure of studies that will serve his individual turn an artist must make his own drawings. No one else can do more than fill gaps in them.

Download or read book Nature s Laws and the Making of Pictures Classic Reprint written by William Lionel Wyllie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature's Laws and the Making of Pictures Perspective is the art of projecting upon a flat surface the image of any object, situated at any distance, so that it may present to the eye the same appearance with regard to its surroundings as does the real object. It is an exact science, and the truth of its rules can be demonstrated to absolute certainty so they can no more be ignored than can the multiplica tion table or the propositions of Euclid. Yet it is a fact that many artists, just because they have never taken the trouble to learn how to use these rules of perspective, abuse the whole subject call it a one-eyed science tell you that it has nothing to do with Art and even go so far as to say that, if you have to use paper and pencil to prove your case, you must be wrong.

Download or read book Mother Nature s Children Classic Reprint written by Allen Walton Gould and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mother Nature's Children This book aims to help the young to see the spirit rather than the form of nature. It traces the love and care and mutual dependence of living things from human beings down to plants. And while it is set in an imaginative framework, no facts are stated and no illustrations used save on good scientific authority. Recognizing the power of pictures to reach the child, such subjects are treated as can be illustrated. Each chapter opens with a picture by some artist of acknowledged ability and contains other interesting pictures bearing directly on the text. In using the book in the schoolroom it might be well to have the children look at the pictures and tell what they see before the descriptions are read. They will thus learn to observe and to think for themselves as well as to express themselves. The pictures and descriptions can be made more real by bringing into the class-room some specimen of the plant or animal or nest or other object that is described. But in dwelling on these material facts of nature, we must be careful not to let them obscure the truth we wish to teach, or bewilder the child by their multiplicity. We must remember that it is not the formal part of nature, but the spiritual part we wish to teach through the forms. We must try to give the children no more of body than shows soul, as Browning says of painting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The First Year Nature Reader Classic Reprint written by Katherine Beebe and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Year Nature Reader It has long been the custom in public schools to teach reading during the first few months by means of the blackboard alone, reserving the Reader for about the middle of the school year. Although this little book has been prepared for the child's use from the first weeks of September until the last of June, does not preclude the use of any desired quantity of supplementary reading from other books, from the blackkoard, or from printed slips. The subject-matter follows the season, calling attention to its flowers, fruits, birds, activities, etc., as it retreats and advances; and, while it calls for the preparation of each lesson by the teacher, it demands only material and information easily accessible to all. Psychologists and Child students have taught us that it is a mistake to begin with analyses in dealing with young children, and that it is processes, moving mental images, and the dramas of life which command the interest and attention of unfolding minds. For this reason the authors venture to hope that the reading matter here presented has a psychologic, and, therefore, practical, value to both teacher and pupil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Ornament The power of abstracting and applying the beauties of floral form seems now to be entirely lost. The great art of the present day seems to consist in copy ing nature as exactly as it can be copied in hard materials to make a colourable imitation but in such a way that its highest beauties are lost. Mr. Ward has added several illustrations which his experience shows him will be useful to students, and he has added an Appendix on the construction of some geometrical figures, and the methods of drawing conic sections and spirals.

This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Architectural Ornament If this book contains, of deliberation, any novel features, these consist mainly in its general arrangement, classifying architectural ornament as to its bases, found either in vegetable or animal forms of life, or in straight or curved lines and in the tracing of Gothic forms almost wholly to nature, those of the thirteenth century representing spring, followed in regular succession by those of summer, autumn and winter, alike in England and on the Continent. The appendix chapter on some capitals which the author sketched in Alexandria in 1911 is also, it is believed, quite new, except that a paper on the subject has been read before the Society of Architects.

Download or read book Porcelain Its Nature Art and Manufacture Classic Reprint written by William Burton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Porcelain Its Nature Art and Manufacture The interest of Porcelain is perennial, and though book succeeds book, the subject remains unexhausted. The aim of this little book is to supply the collector and student of porcelain, as well as the general reader, with a clear and connected account of the various kinds of porcelain made in Asia and Europe. It has taken me more years than I like to count to arrive at the ideas set down in the following pages, and I hope that, as a result of my labours in sifting, weighing, selecting, and arranging, the knowledge gained from so many diverse sources, others may be saved a great deal of unnecessary trouble. This is in no sense a technical treatise, yet it is based on a practical experience in many branches of the Potter's Art, which has, I trust, enabled me to exhibit certain aspects of the subject in a way that will be new to the bulk of my readers. Throughout the work I have been careful to explain how the artistic qualities of the various porcelains have been influenced by the nature of the materials and processes used in different countries; the information being of such a character as will enable a collector to find the scientific explanation of the differences which an artist feels. Many difficulties have to be faced in a work necessarily so compressed as this. In the first place, it is impossible to keep the treatment accurately in scale. Naturally, perhaps, in an English book the records of the English factories occupy more space than the artistic merit of their productions would warrant; while German porcelain makes so little appeal to our English tastes, that a German might, not unreasonably, complain that the factories of his country had received less attention than they deserve. Others may think that Japanese porcelain has been somewhat slighted, but I have honestly tried to give a picture that should represent as truly as possible, within the prescribed limits, the development of every important kind of porcelain known. It is, perhaps, necessary to say a word in explanation of the attention given to the Letters of Pere d'Entrecolles.
