Immer wieder ist es faszinierend; wie schnell manche Menschen die schonsten Zeichnungen auf Papier zaubern konnen. Ein paar Striche; Linien und auf wundersame Art und Weise entstehen Gegenstande; Landschaften und Gesichter. Sehr beeindruckend. >Zeichnen fur Dummies< beginnt mit den Grundlagen und arbeitet sich dann zu immer komplexeren Darstellungen vor. Den Lesern wird systematisch erklart; wie sie den Stift fuhren mussen; damit sie ihre Motive mit einem Schuss Personlichkeit aufs Papier bringen konnen.

Imagining Why Architects Still Draw - Not Seeing What They DrawBy Christopher PizziThis book is modeled on Italo Calvinos writing. It is a narrative told with other narratives. Literature; movies; poems; places; people; events. These are all configured to support an essay with an opaque narrative arc. This is both the delight and the dilemma of the book. Many examples are tangents that dont reinforce the thesis at hand and leave the reader wondering; why the excursus? If you like this elliptical style of writing; you will enjoy the book.This book about drawings has no drawings inside it; nor illustrations; nor photos. I found this to be a drawback; as they could have enriched the book and help achieve its goals. The books preface notes that related illustrations can be found on a website - which is helpful but still seemingly remote. If you choose to buy a physical book; shouldnt you get the images too?Belardi returns to Calvino and specifically mentions the essay "Quickness" from Six Memos for the Next Millennium; a wonderful book at the center of my bookshelf. Ultimately; these two essay lectures by Belardi could benefit from Calvinos quickness; if not from the editorial services of Hemingway. Although there are illustrative voids in the prose; its is still an excellent lecture; and guides the ready on a journey of contemplating the complexity and potential of drawing.0 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Poor printing cover was upside down and backwardsBy Milton YergensPoor printing cover was upside down and backwards ; body of book was trimmed with uneven margins leaving the top sentence on every page in the entire book missing. This was nobody fault and the book should have been discarded at the plant.
