Book Review: Indispensable
Summary: 5 Stars
This book should never have been allowed to go out of print! It is indispensable for developing a visual sense for telling a story. Theatre & film directors can use it constantly. For students, it can teach one how to think and construct in abstract terms in order to illicit an emotional response from the viewer.
Summary of Picture This: How Pictures Work
Everyone knows that a picture tells a thousand words. But what about the elements that make up a picture? Using the tale of Little Red Riding Hood as an example, Molly Bang uses boldly graphic artwork to explain how images--and their individual components--work to tell a story that engages the emotions: Why are diagonals dramatic? Why are curves calming? Why does red feel hot and blue feel cold?First published in 1991, Picture This fans will welcome the new edition's striking redesign and introduce its insights to many other artists and art appreciators alike.
