This book is an excellent tool for learning to sketch on location. Through the "no drawing first" technique, readers will learn to use only watercolour and a brush to draw in notebooks, make quick urban sketches, keep visual journals and create compelling outdoor urban work. Designed like a workshop on the go, with more than fifty progressive exercises, this book invites you to experiment with watercolour by translating space and movement through shapes and color into masses and values rather than contours and strict rules of perspective. The author, a theatrical scenic painter, urban sketcher and urban sketching teacher, shows you how to represent the world around us. She encourages the reader to observe the place, to understand it, to learn how to choose the subject when capturing the place's soul, preserving the sense of the fleetingness of the instant described. The themes include vegetation, buildings and forms of people in movement.

Cutting and sticking is really easy, anyone can do it and, with a few basic supplies, like paper, scissors and a bit of glue, you've got yourself a great kit to start working. Collage, conceived by Picasso and Braque at the beginning of the 20th century, and which the dadaists would incorporate later as an alternative, renegade response to traditional art, is a bit more than just cutting and sticking: it is experimentation, investigation, learning, and, a great deal of fun. If you inject some purpose or personal content into your clippings, you'll succeed in creating a language of your own which will allow you to express your worries or experiences visually. Collage will broaden our vision of the world, transforming and recycling images that already exist to create new ones with different meanings and new aesthetics, apart from the therapeutic, rewarding experience of the practice itself. This inventive activity art book, now in paperback, combines fun and focus, entertainment, and mindfulness. It includes a brief history of collage and practical tips and ideas to cut and paste, draw and paint, and sew and stitch using paper and everyday objects. Each double page proposes to look at things afresh, with suggestion and jumping off points to unleash the capacity for creativity and, ultimately, widen the horizons for expression. It includes 25 pages of cutouts. A whole world to discover!

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Kunst - Grafik, Druck, Note: 1-2, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn (Kunsthistorisches Institut), Veranstaltung: Proseminar: Das druckgraphische Werk Albrecht Dürers, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: ¿Melencolia I¿ gehört neben ¿Der große Reiter¿ und ¿Hieronymus im Gehäus¿ zu den drei Meisterstichen Albrecht Dürers, die allesamt in den Jahren 1513 und 1514 entstanden sind.Kein anderes Werk hat in der kunsthistorischen Forschung so viele Anschauungen, Deutungen und kontroverse Interpretationen erfahren, wie dieser Kupferstich.Dürer gelang es, 1514 ein Meisterwerk zu schaffen, dessen einzelne Bildelemente sondiert zwar interpretierbar sind, das sich jedoch einer zusammenhängenden, vollendeten Bildinterpretation entzieht.Unzählige Kunsthistoriker versuchten dieses Werk Dürers zu analysieren, doch keiner von ihnen kam zu einer vollständigen und eindeutigen ikonologischen Analyse.Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, eine Darstellung der Temperamentenlehre bis zur Zeit Dürers zu liefern, insbesondere die Entwicklung des Melancholikers.Des Weiteren werde ich eine Interpretation der einzelnen Bildelemente, beziehungsweise des ganzen Stiches vornehmen, die sich auf dieses Temperament bezieht.

Die ökologische Frage ist nicht neu. Bereits vor über hundert Jahren entstanden in Reaktion auf die zunehmende Industrialisierung und Urbanisierung im Kapitalismus Denkmodelle und Praktiken, die sich in unseren heutigen Vorstellungen von Nachhaltigkeit wiederfinden. Mitunter auf vormodernes Wissen aufbauend und verstärkt durch die Erfahrung der sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Krisen nach Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges bildeten sich eine Vielzahl von Reformbewegungen: vom gemeinnützigen Wohnungsbau bis zu anarchosyndikalistischen Siedlungen, von urbanen Selbstversorgergärten und ökologischem Landbau bis zu Konzepten einer kreislaufbasierten Abfallwirtschaft. In diesen Ansätzen spiegelt sich nicht nur ein systemisches Verständnis der Wechselwirkungen von Mensch und Umwelt, von Natur und Technik, sondern auch das wachsende Bewusstsein für eine sich die Lebensgrundlage entziehenden Moderne. Nach einer zweijährigen Recherchephase realisiert Licht Luft Scheiße zwei Ausstellungen, eine umfangreiche Film-, Gesprächs- und Vortragsreihe sowie ein selbstorganisiertes Bildungsprogramm. Der transdisziplinäre Anspruch des Projekts wird durch die besondere Kooperation zwischen dem Botanischen Museum Berlin, der Martin-Elsaesser-Stiftung, der Nachbarschaftsakademie im Prinzessinnengarten Kreuzberg und der neuen Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (nGbK) getragen. Im Austausch künstlerischer, wissenschaftlicher und politischaktivistischer Perspektiven auf Ökologie und Moderne soll nicht nur eine nachhaltige kulturelle Wissensproduktion hergestellt, sondern auch eine konkrete Zukunftsvision für einen dauerhaften Lernort, für Bodenaufbau und Kompostierung menschlicher Scheiße auf dem Gelände des Prinzessinnengartens Kreuzberg entwickelt werden.

Børnenes barndom kan variere, men drømmene er ens. Alle børn kan lide sjove historier, alle børn kan lide at tegne og farve. Inspirationen til denne bog kommer fra børnene selv. De lange eftermiddagstimer på sfo blev til sjove og fantasifulde fortællinger og tegninger, som børnene elskede at farvelægge. Alle børn vil gerne have venner. I bogen kan man finde forskellige karakterer fra børnenes fantasivenner. Hvorfor huse? Fordi børnene gerne vil have, at fantasivennerne skal have et sted at bo. Rasmus ønskede et kraniehus til sine fantasivenner, Bjørn et burgerhus, Mille et kronehus osv. Alle børnene er forskellige. Nogle er gode til at fortælle, andre til at tegne. Nogle er gode til at lytte til historierne og andre til at farvelægge tegningerne. Derfor har Jolanta sammen med børnene lavet sjove tegninger til finurlige historier, som kan farvelægges med børnenes yndlingsfarver.Om forfatteren Forfatteren af denne bog, Jolanta Kisbye (Vaidelytè) er født og opvokset i Kaunas. Allerede som ganske lille digtede hun sjove historier, som hun fortalte til sine tre søstre. I 1993, efter Sovjetunionens opløsning, rejste hun fra Litauen til Danmark. Mange års arbejdserfaring med børn og unge resulterer i denne fortælling og farvebog.
