Download or read book Children s Drawings of the Human Figure written by Maureen V. Cox and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-24 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human figure is one of the earliest topics drawn by the young child and remains popular throughout childhood and into adolescence. When it first emerges, however, the human figure in the child's drawing is very bizarre: it appears to have no torso and its arms, if indeed it has any, are attached to its head. Even when the figure begins to look more conventional the child must still contend with a variety of problems: for instance, how to draw the head and body in the right proportions and how to draw the figure in action. In this book, Maureen Cox traces the development of the human form in children's drawings; she reviews the literature in the field, criticises a number of major theories which purport to explain the developing child's drawing skills and also presents new data.

Download or read book The Human Figure in Islamic Art written by Kjeld von Folsach and published by David Collection/ Strandberg Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated book focuses on an unusually and rarely elucidated subject in the world of Islamic art: human depictions. Through seventy-five important works of Islamic art from the David Collection in Copenhagen, Denmark, The Human Figure in Islamic Art focuses on an unusually and rarely elucidated subject in the world of Islamic art: human depictions. Depictions of man were considered objectionable from an orthodox Muslim point of view since only God can create life, and man should not try to emulate God's work. There was concern that depictions or those who were depicted could be worshipped, something that went against the dogma that only God, Allah, should be the object of worship. The book describes how, despite this reluctance, portraying human figures has nonetheless always played an important role in Islamic art. The human figure is found on many kinds of utility ware, but the motif also has a long and rich tradition especially in miniature painting. The paintings in the book largely feature princes, but also holy men and quite ordinary people in the form of illustrations for works of fiction, depictions of real-life events, and true portraits. This richly illustrated book covers the use of the human figure in many of the forms of Islamic art and describes some of the historical conditions and theological discussions behind it. Light is also shed on the mutual influence of Islamic and European art.

Book excerpt: How to Draw Human Figures Ultimate guide on how to draw people Individuals simply beginning are frequently bewildered by the subject of how to draw individuals. The type of a man wearing garments can be really perplexing and this goes considerably more for the human body itself. We should accept you stay there with a charcoal and an unfilled sheet of drawing paper before you - and in addition a figure of a human with garments. Next, you ponder, where do I begin for the love of God? How would I start? Looking at the figure, the undertaking can appear to be entirely overwhelming. Along these lines, we should begin with an essential standard. Any drawing can be taken back to a couple of segments. On account of a human figure, the body can be isolated into a few sections. Simply solicit yourself, where might the center from the body be? The answer is straightforward: at the waistline. It's vital to get the essential extents right to start with, and not to include point of interest in the first place. Just in the event that you are certain that the extents are about right, would you be able to include (just little) detail later. You can help that procedure considerably shutting your eyes when looking at your model. Along these lines, you concentrate on the wide shapes and not on the points of interest. The accompanying step is to attempt and measure the head from the jaw to the top. The body is around seven times bigger than the head. How about we recap: you ought to now have a blemish on your drawing paper where the base of the feet, the waistline, the button and the highest point of the head are. Presently you can audit them and choose if the extents look alright. Look from your drawing to the figure and back once more. Do it very quick. You will check whether it the extents aren't precisely right. All things considered, transform them. As I said, the whole head is around one seventh of the length of the body. These tenets, coincidentally, ought to be utilized as a fundamental rule just, not any guideline that is cut in stone. Simply look from your drawing to the figure and back once more, and see what's there. That is the way to getting the right estimations. Next, you can make marks for other key parts of the body. Obviously, there are the legs and arms. At the point when the arms are casual, the fingers are approximately five head down and the knees around six, so put marks there. Begin with basic stances: on the off chance that you begin with complex stances you will get dampened quick. Work on drawing individuals with straightforward stances and once you get to be alright with that you will have the capacity to handle more troublesome ones effortlessly.
