Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Human Figure Successfully to build up the human figure in a drawing, painting or statue, either from imagination or from a model, the artist or sculptor must be possessed of a keen sense of construction. The human body, with its varied beauty of construction, character and action, is so complex that it is essential for the student, artist and sculptor not only to have a clear knowledge of its intricate forms, but a comprehensive understanding and a habit of simple treatment in order to apply this knowledge to its artistic end. The artist is immediately concerned with the external and the apparent. He views nature as color, tone, texture and light and shade, but back of his immediate concern, whether he be figure painter or illustrator, in order to render the human form with success, he stands in need of skill in the use of his knowledge of structure, of his understanding of action and of his insight into character. These things require a period of profound academic study. When we consider the infinite variety of action of the human form, its suppleness, grace and strength of movement in the expression of the fleeting action, and farther consider that the surface of the body is enveloped in effects of light and shade, iridescent color and delicate tone, it is not to be wondered at that the student's eye is readily blinded to the hidden construction of the form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Human Figure: Its Beauties and Defects The Object of the volume is given by the author in the Opening of his preface. He addresses himself both to artists and to amateurs, to the former, in order to draw their attention to many things which, we know from experience, they not infrequently overlook; and to the latter, in order to introduce to them a way of studying works Of art which, although not habitually pursued by the amateur, is nevertheless indispensable to the proper understanding and due appreciation of them. For the amateur, indeed, the indications Offered in his pages are Of especial interest. Most persons cherish a secret conviction Of their capacity to arbitrate on any question Of personal beauty, -a fond belief that is not at all disturbed by the knowledge that in any particular case their friends will arrive with equal self-satis faction at conclusions Of a different kind, -but there are few who are prepared to advance cogent reasons for the faith that is in them. There must, indeed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Download or read book Classic Human Anatomy in Motion written by Valerie L. Winslow and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential companion book to the bestselling Classic Human Anatomy provides artists and art students with a deeper understanding of human anatomy and different types of motion, inspiring more realistic and energetic figurative art. Fine-art instruction books do not usually focus on anatomy as it relates to movement, despite its great artistic significance. Written by a long-time expert on drawing and painting human anatomy, Classic Human Anatomy in Motion offers artists everything they need to realistically draw the human figure as it is affected by movement. Written in a friendly style, the book is illustrated with hundreds of life drawing studies (both quick poses and long studies), along with charts and diagrams showing the various anatomical and structural components. This comprehensive manual features 5 distinct sections, each focusing on a different aspect of the human figure: bones and joint movement, muscle groups, surface form and soft tissue characteristics, structure, and movement. Each chapter builds an artistic understanding of how motion transforms the human figure and can create a sense of expressive vibrancy in one's art.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Costumed Human Figure From Tampico, Washington These jagged rocks and the soil which had accumulated be tween them extended down to a depth of 3 feet from the sur face, where a box or cist was found, which was formed of thin slabs of basaltic rock about 2 feet long by 17} feet wide, and from r % to 2 inches thick, with thin, sharp edges. These had been placed on edge, - several to form the sides and one or two to form the ends. The cist thus made was covered with two large fiat slabs which projected beyond the sides of the box. (plate VII, Fig. There were no slabs or other rocks forming the floor to the cist, which was filled with soil that had worked in between the stones. This was the only grave in which we found a stone cist, the other graves being more or less filled, from the skeleton to the surface, with irregular rocks or pebbles. This cist may be perhaps best described by stating that it resembled very much the stone graves of Kentucky and Ohio, excepting that limestone was not here used and that the posi tion of the skeleton and the character of the objects found within were not similar to those usually observed in the stone graves of the Mississippi Valley. It is also to be noted that here we have a pile of jagged rocks over the cist, as is seldom the case in the East. Within the box and about on a level with the lower edges of the enclosing slabs was the skeleton (cat. No. Igg-f) of the child. (plate VII, Fig. It lay upon the left side, the head towards the west, facing north, and with the knees flexed close to the chest. The skull is slightly deformed by occipital pressure. Under the body, scattered from the neck to the pelvis, were found eighteen dentalium shells (cat. No. Ten of these were ornamented with engraved designs (cat. No. 325599, and resembled the engraved dentalium shells found in the Thompson River region. A small piece of bone (cat. No. 39703521) and some charcoal (cat. No. 32103523) were also found in this grave. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
