Follow on Google News | Hand, Eye, Mind, Soul: "Drawing for All It’s Worth" by Author, Charles Staats Jr.In his new guide artist, author and teacher Charles Staats, Jr., helps expand the artist’s perception of form and appreciation of the senses to that level of aesthetic synthesis that true art creates.
By: Outskirts Press Drawing for All It’s Worth is a guide not just to the practice of art, but to the understanding of art as well. Staats provides clever observational drawing exercises for both beginning and experienced artists, but he also encourages his practitioners to broaden their horizons about the essence of art itself. As Staats guides readers through his well paced sequence of practical exercises, he also exposes them to the influences that have shaped art over the years. He distinguishes art that was created to express written ideas from the birth of the “unconscious” The author’s goal in this unique guide is not just to improve the skills of the hand and the eye, but also to help create a fundamental confidence for the artist in his or her role as a creator of aesthetic images. Staats understands that an artist’s conviction and certainty will affect the quality of his or her work as much as an adept hand, and his attention to the personal qualities an artist needs as well as to the artistic vices that keep creative roadblocks in place are tips not found in more conventional drawing manuals. Drawing for All It’s Worth is an exemplary guide for both the beginning and the more accomplished artist.
