Download or read book Sumi-e written by Shozo Sato and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this Japanese ink painting book renowned Japanese master Shozo Sato offers his own personal teaching on the beautiful art of sumi-e painting. Sumi-e: The Art of Japanese Ink Painting provides step-by-step, photo-by-photo instructions to guide learners in the correct form, motions and techniques of Japanese sumi-e painting. Featuring gorgeous images and practical advice, it includes guided instructions for 35 different paintings. From waterfalls to bamboo, learners paint their way to understanding sumi-e--a style of painting that is characteristically Asian and has been practiced for well over 1,000 years. Although it's sometimes confused with calligraphy, as the tools used are the same, sumi-e instead tries to capture the essence of an object or scene in the fewest possible strokes. This all-in-one resource also provides a timeline of brush painting history, a glossary of terms, a guide to sources and an index--making it a tool to use and treasure, for amateurs and professionals alike. This sumi-e introduction is ideal for anyone with a love of Japanese art or the desire to learn to paint in a classic Asian style.

Book excerpt: Colours make the map: they affect the map’s materiality, content, and handling. With a wide range of approaches, 14 case studies from various disciplines deal with the colouring of maps from different geographical regions and periods. Connected by their focus on the (hand)colouring of the examined maps, the authors demonstrate the potential of the study of colour to enhance our understanding of the material nature and production of maps and the historical, social, geographical and political context in which they were made. Contributors are: Diana Lange, Benjamin van der Linde, Jörn Seemann, Tomasz Panecki, Chet Van Duzer, Marian Coman, Anne Christine Lien, Juliette Dumasy-Rabineau, Nadja Danilenko, Sang-hoon Jang, Anna Boroffka, Stephanie Zehnle, Haida Liang, Sotiria Kogou, Luke Butler, Elke Papelitzky, Richard Pegg, Lucia Pereira Pardo, Neil Johnston, Rose Mitchell, and Annaleigh Margey.
Book Synopsis Ideas and Art in Asian Civilizations by : Kenneth R. Stunkel
Download or read book Ideas and Art in Asian Civilizations written by Kenneth R. Stunkel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work covers topics related to the exercise of influence by individuals and groups within organizations. It includes an introductory group of articles dealing with the nature of influence processes and power. With more than two-thirds fresh material, this new updated edition of Organizational Influence Processes provides an overview of the most important scholarly work on topics related to the exercise of influence by individuals and groups within organizations. In selecting articles for inclusion the editors were guided by the conviction that the most useful and interesting way to view organizational influence is to take a directional approach - that is, to consider the process from the perspective of downward, lateral, and upward influence. They have organized the readings around this framework, preceded by an introductory group of articles dealing more generally with the nature of influence processes and power. The book includes both classic readings and the latest cutting edge research from some of the most respected experts writing in the field. It will be equally useful for any upper level undergraduate or graduate course concerned with organizational behavior, group behavior, leadership or power and politics.
Download or read book Warriors of Art written by Yumi Yamaguchi and published by Kodansha International. This book was released on 2007 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently the West has been inundated by a steady flow of images from manga, anime, and the video games that are a key part of todays Japanese visual culture. At the same time, Japanese contemporary artists are gaining a higher profile overseas: many Westerners are already familiar with Takashi Murakamis brightly colored, cartoonlike characters, or with Junko Mizunos grotes-cute Lolita-style girls. Perhaps less familiar are the absurd fighting machines of Kenji Yanobe, the many disguises of Tomoko Sawada, or the grotesque fairytale landscapes of Tomoko Konoike. Warriors of Art features the work of forty of the latest and most relevant contemporary Japanese artists, from painters and sculptors, to photographers and performance artists, with lavish full-color spreads of their key works. Author Yumi Yamaguchi offers an insightful introduction to the main themes of each artist, and builds up a fascinating portrait of the society that has given birth to them: a Japan that still bears the scars of atomic destruction, a Japan with a penchant for the cute and the childish, a Japan whose manga and anime industries have come to dominate the world. Warriors of Art takes its title from a phrase used to describe Taro Okamoto (1911-1996), perhaps the first truly influential contemporary artist to emerge in postwar Japan, who fought to bring modern art to a wider audience. Following in Okamotos footsteps, the forty artists featured in this book are a new generation of warriors, attacking our senses with a shocking mix of the cute, the grotesque, the sexy, and the violent, forcing us to sit up and take notice of their vision of Japan.
Book Synopsis Japanese Woodblock Printing by : Rebecca Salter
Download or read book Japanese Woodblock Printing written by Rebecca Salter and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2002-02-28 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the sophisticated traditional arts and crafts of Japan, woodblock prints are probably the most widely known in the West. The bold yet refined compositions are as fresh to the Western eye today as they were when they first came to the attention of the Impressionists in the nineteenth century. With their fluid lines, intricate carving and delicate colors, Japanese prints are still as fascinating as ever. In this book, Rebecca Salter takes us through the history of the Japanese woodblock, discusses the materials, tools, and papers available (and their Western equivalents) and shows how to get the most out of them through interesting step-by-step projects. The work of an international group of artists shows the varied and exciting prints being produced today.
Book Synopsis Is the Sublime Sustainable? A Comparative Aesthetics Approach to the Sublime by : Peter L. Doebler
Download or read book Is the Sublime Sustainable? A Comparative Aesthetics Approach to the Sublime written by Peter L. Doebler and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-03-13 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the Sublime Sustainable? introduces the key points of debate around the sublime while opening new avenues for future inquiry, especially through its comparative aesthetics approach. In it, you will discover how thinking on the sublime emerged historically and then engage with the recent critical scholarship on the topic, including from the fields of theology, philosophy, and literature. The critiques of the sublime are then expanded in dialogue with perspectives from Japanese aesthetics and art, shaping the argument that what is needed today is a sublime that enriches human lives by cultivating profound, participative relationships.

Book excerpt: In this beautiful and extraordinary zen calligraphy book, Shozo Sato, an internationally recognized master of traditional Zen arts, teaches the art of Japanese calligraphy through the power and wisdom of Zen poetry.

Download or read book Sumi-e written by Akemi Lucas and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-08-29 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the engaging art of Japanese sumi painting, where simple sweeps of the brush capture the essence of nature. The Japanese art tradition of Sumi-e uses brushes and ink washes to combine calligraphic lines with carefully thought out blank spaces. Traditionally focusing on flowers and plants, this mindful art form has roots in Zen Buddhism, striving to capture the essence and natural vitality of a subject, rather than creating a realistic representation. In this beautifully illustrated step-by-step guide, master calligraphic artist Akemi Lucas describes the equipment, brush positioning, ink-mixing techniques and mindset needed to excel at this delightful art form. Ideal both for beginners and accomplished Sumi-e artists, the projects start with orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, and plum blossom – known as 'The Four Gentlemen' – and increase in complexity through fruits and flowers to water, insects, and birds. Many of the later projects also include important advice on background washes and other advanced techniques that will add sophistication to your work. Prepare your ink, clear your mind, and create natural wonderlands using simple sweeps of the brush.

Book Synopsis Materials for Conservation by : C V Horie
Download or read book Materials for Conservation written by C V Horie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Materials in Conservation is the definitive introduction to the properties of materials used in conservation. The continual struggle of conservators to ameliorate the deterioration of objects has led to increasing use of synthetic polymers. These materials are part of the sophisticated technology that has been developed to augment and often replace traditional materials and methods. Conservators therefore have a wider range of techniques available. However, they must be able to appreciate the potentials and pitfalls of any proposed technique. The first section explains physical and chemical properties which are important in the conservation process, i.e. application, ageing, reversal. The topics covered include molecular weight, glass transition temperature, solubility and solvents, polymerisation and degradation reactions. The second section provides a detailed consideration of the individual materials, current and obsolete, used in conservation, drawing out the factors relevant to their effects on objects. The conservation uses of each material are summarised and referenced to allow further study. In five appendices, the properties of the polymers, solvents and their interactions are tabulated, with a list of suppliers and conversion table of physical units. IUPAC and SI nomenclature is used throughout the book. In this second edition, this classic text is revised and updated to include modern materials such as cyclododecane, and current ideas on adhesion, consolidation and reversibility, making Materials in Conservation the definitive source of vital information in the field. This handy reference book should be on the bench of every conservator and available wherever objects, from steam engines to dried plants, are preserved.

Book Synopsis I Too Dream America by : Darlington Ndubuike
Download or read book I Too Dream America written by Darlington Ndubuike and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004-05 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Too Dream America is based on a true story. My aim is to present this culture in a form that informs and teaches you, allows you to make cross-cultural connections, and create the opportunity for you to see your own culture through this cultural mirror. In the pages that follow, you will learn mostly about the customs and beliefs of this African culture. Some of the customs and beliefs you are about to encounter in this volume may shock you, amaze you, amuse you, or leave you awe-inspired. You may find the whole thing fascinating. Whatever emotion you come away with as you thumb through these pages, it is my hope that you will hold on to something that is life changing for you- for the better. The purpose of this book is to emphasize similarities between cultures, heighten students' consciousness about ethnic diversity and appreciation for their own ethnic heritage. Although the African culture is presented in this story, it is the universality of the issues discussed that is important. I have done everything I could to make this journey to a strange world as easy as possible without compromising the very essence of cultural discovery. I hope that you will get a lot from this book, and it will change your views about life, yourself, your culture, and the cultures of other peoples of the world. As a teacher, I am aware of the need to educate people, especially our children, on the cultures of other peoples. I have, therefore, included discussion on the socio-cultural issues and cross-cultural issues from an ethnographic perspective and incorporated strategies for teaching this culture and the cultures of other ethnic groups. You really do not need to study the culture of every group before you can begin to teach in a multicultural classroom. The idea is that once you have mastered the strategy for teaching the culture of one ethnic group, you can teach the culture of any ethnic group. This is necessary because, as Takaki (1993) notes, all students in America today need to know much more about the origins and history of the particular cultures which, as Americans, they will encounter during their lives. Finally, it is my heart's desire to impress upon you, the teacher, the fact that every student that enters your classroom, like the little boy in this story, comes with a dream. It is your responsibility to keep every student's dream alive, to focus every one of them, and to motivate each of them to achieve his or her purposes. All children want to succeed. They, too, dream America. As Dr. Hanson observes, "I Too Dream America gives readers a tantalizing glimpse into a world few Americans have experienced or imagined. As he relates his youthful experiences in Nigeria, we are simotaneously intrigued and astonished by the sense of participation his stories deliver. He makes it possible for readers to share his adventures, successes, and tragedies as participants in his vivid memories of a unique African cultural heritage." Dr. Allen notes, "It captures the spirit of voice of every parent, teacher and child who would like to understand the culture of other countries. It is a look at the African culture through the eyes of a native who has come to America and now lives the American dream. It gives direction to teachers, parents and students on how to understand and appreciate the culture and contributions of every child that shows up on the steps of an American school, seeking an education that would lead him or her to the American dream. It brings to life the desires of every parent and the aspirations of every child"
