Book excerpt: How does coding change the way we think about architecture? This question opens up an important research perspective. In this book, Miro Roman and his AI Alice_ch3n81 develop a playful scenario in which they propose coding as the new literacy of information. They convey knowledge in the form of a project model that links the fields of architecture and information through two interwoven narrative strands in an “infinite flow” of real books. Focusing on the intersection of information technology and architectural formulation, the authors create an evolving intellectual reflection on digital architecture and computer science.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Laws of Fésole: A Familiar Treatise on the Elementary Principles and Practice of Drawing and Painting The publication of this book has been delayed by What seemed to me vexatious accident, or (on my own part) unaccountable slowness in work: but the delay thus enforced has enabled me to bring the whole into a form which I do not think there will be any reason after wards to modify in any important particular, containing a system of instruction in art generally applicable in the education Of gentlemen; and securely elementary in that of professional artists. It has been made as simple as I can in expression, and is specially addressed, in the main teaching of it, to young people (extending the range of that term to include students in our universities); and it will be SO addressed to them, that if they have not the advantage of being near a master, they may teach them selves, by careful reading, what is essential to their progress. But I have added always to such initial princi ples, those which it is desirable to state for the guidance of advanced scholars, or the explanation of the practice Of exemplary masters.

Book Synopsis The Essence of Art by : Craig Harrison
Download or read book The Essence of Art written by Craig Harrison and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this book asks what kind of advice was available to somebody wishing to embark upon oil painting in England between 1850 and 1900. It is a fascinating collection of Victorian instruction on how and what to paint, linked to crucial advice about art, its meaning and its relation to contemporary life, given by practising artists, important and often popular in their time, but whose lectures and writings are long overdue for reappraisal: Leslie, Hamerton, O’Neil, Poynter, Watts, Leighton, Armitage, Quilter and Herkomer. Here, beyond the familiar voices of Ruskin, Whistler and Pater, we have a whole range of experience from an age in which issues about painting were hotly debated by large numbers of people: professional artists, amateurs, critics, gallery-goers and Academy students. This anthology brings back to life the humour, seriousness, ambitions, eccentricities and controversies of people whose work shaped the nature of mainstream Victorian art.

This book was released on 1995-08-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridging the fields of conservation, art history, and museum curating, this volume contains the principal papers from an international symposium titled "Historical Painting Techniques, Materials, and Studio Practice" at the University of Leiden in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from June 26 to 29, 1995. The symposium—designed for art historians, conservators, conservation scientists, and museum curators worldwide—was organized by the Department of Art History at the University of Leiden and the Art History Department of the Central Research Laboratory for Objects of Art and Science in Amsterdam. Twenty-five contributors representing museums and conservation institutions throughout the world provide recent research on historical painting techniques, including wall painting and polychrome sculpture. Topics cover the latest art historical research and scientific analyses of original techniques and materials, as well as historical sources, such as medieval treatises and descriptions of painting techniques in historical literature. Chapters include the painting methods of Rembrandt and Vermeer, Dutch 17th-century landscape painting, wall paintings in English churches, Chinese paintings on paper and canvas, and Tibetan thangkas. Color plates and black-and-white photographs illustrate works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
Download or read book Where Art Begins written by Hume Nisbet and published by . This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1892, "Where art Begins" is a fantastic treatise on the subject of art, being an exploration of when, why, and how artists often begin their artistic pursuits. Based on his own experiences as an artist, the author paints a picture of what inspired him and what the usual catalysts are for those following similar paths. This volume is highly recommended for new artists and those with an interest in what motivates them, as well as those looking for some guidance in their own artistic endeavours. Contents include: "Introduction," "A Word Before," "Where Art Begins," "A Study in Light and Shadow," "The Primaries: Yellow, Red, and Blue," "Art in its Relationship to Everyday Life," "On Picture Lighting," "Ships: Ancient and Modern," "Illustrative Art: Past and Present," etc... Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.My present subject has grown up in a very congenial atmosphere. A number of sympathetic students; who learnt to appreciate my practical work; continued to draw from me some ideas partly practical; partly theoretical; on the subject which has always been a part religion with me; whether in my working or my dreaming moments-Art and its all-permeating influence over humanity in the social and spiritual conditions. I take it that Art permeates the entire body of humanity; from the flesh-devouring savage to the asphodel-adoring ?sthetic; in a greater or lesser degree; according to the sanitary conditions of their lives; and as it permeates; so it brings us closer to what we regard as human perfection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: Some of the ancients placed Fire as a fourth Element, in the highest region of the Air, because they regarded it as the lightest and most subtle. But the Fire of Nature does not differ from the Celestial Fire; this is why Moses makes no mention of it in Genesis, because he had said that Light was created on the first day. The fire which we use ordinarily is partly natural and partly artificial. The Creator has placed in the sun an igneous spirit, the principle of movement and of gentle heat, such as is necessary to Nature for her operations. It communicates it to all bodies, and by exciting and developing the Fire which is innate in them, it preserves the principle of generation and of life. Each individual partakes of it more or less. He who seeks in Nature another element of Fire, is ignorant of what the sun and light are. It is placed in the Moist Radical as its proper seat. With animals it seems to have established its chief domicile in the heart, which communicates it to all parts, as the sun does to all the Universe. The Fire of Nature is her first agent. It reduces the germs from potentiality to actuality. As soon as it no longer acts, all apparent movement and all vital action ceases. The principle of movement is light, and movement is the cause of heat. This is why the absence of the sun and of light has such a great effect upon bodies. Heat penetrates to the interior of the most opaque and hardest substances, and animates the hidden and torpid nature. Light penetrates only transparent bodies, and its property is to manifest the perceptible accidents of the composites. Thus the sun is the first natural and universal agent. In departing from the sun light strikes the dense bodies, the celestial as well as the terrestrial; it places their facultiesin moveme...

Book Synopsis On Drawing Trees and Nature by : J. D. Harding
Download or read book On Drawing Trees and Nature written by J. D. Harding and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2011-09-12 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic of art instruction is the work of James Duffield Harding (1798-1863), who served as drawing master and sketching companion to the great Victorian art critic, John Ruskin. Generations of students have benefited from the teachings of this 19th-century master, who sought always to "produce as near a likeness to Nature, in every respect, as the instrument, or material employed, will admit of; not so much by bona fide imitation, as by reviving in the mind those ideas which are awakened by a contemplation of Nature . . . The renewal of those feelings constitutes the true purpose of Art." This volume consists of direct reproductions of Harding's sketches of vignettes from natural settings. Each is accompanied by a series of lessons emphasizing both practical and theoretical considerations. The edition features the added attraction of 23 outstanding plates from the author's Lessons on Trees.
