Tangible art.......2001-12-02
Beginners as well as experienced artists will find this book both technically helpful and aesthetically pleasing. Its clear-cut instructions and step-by-step illustrations, showing the process of creating and elaborating a visually striking image, will help a practicing artist to improve the technique of realistic painting.
All professional artists have their own trade secrets; few are willing to share them; even fewer are able to do it in a way that makes sense to others. John Agnew's book is the one that does it superbly.

Pieces of Intelligence: The Existential Poetry of Donald H. Rumsfeld
Manufacturer: Free Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0743255976 |
Book Description
Until now, the poetry of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has been hidden, "embedded" within comments made at press briefings and in interviews. His preferred medium is the spoken word, and his audience has been limited to hard-bitten reporters and hard-core watchers of C-SPAN.
Just as The Iliad and The Odyssey were spoken aloud by many bards, in many variations, before Homer captured them on paper, the Rumsfeld improvisations have finally met up with their perfect editor/enabler. Hart Seely, coeditor of O Holy Cow! The Selected Verse of Phil Rizzuto, uncovers the gems hidden within hundreds of hours of Rumsfeld commentary, in the form of Zen verse, haiku, sonnets, lyric poetry, and free verse. In addition, Seely's sharp sleuthing has uncovered two thematic collections: Rumsfeld's Songs of Myself, and Nine Poems on the Media.
The result is a hilarious and irreverently revealing book both by and about one of the world's most powerful men.

I was briefed on that story before I came down.
I have not gone over it.
It's interesting.
Let me try to put it in context,
And then I'll see if I can answer it.
I have no idea what what it's about.
(...)Where are these gems of verbal prevarication being hidden? In the pages of this book, which will make you laugh until you cry with despair and fear. After all, even tricky Dicky didn't try to convince us he had no idea about something he admits he just read.

Product Description
Although portrait painters often pose their subjects in formal settings, Thomas Gainsborough sometimes depicted them relaxing at home, surrounded by favorite possessions. These informal portraits are called "conversation pieces." If a painter were to create a conversation piece for you, how would you pose? What favorite objects would you include in the picture?

Product Description
"Fashion for Profit"was first conceived for the many talented students that I have had the pleasure of teaching, who want to achieve their dreams of one-day owning their own company, and of producing a successful line of clothing. The apparent lack of business information for apparel start-up apparel manufacturers motivated me to provide this critical education and business training. I developed a class for the continuing education department at Otis College of Art and Design, in Los Angeles. This "hands-on", "how to" class, provided the one-on-one which assisted entrepreneurs develop a small, workable clothing line, and get the business training needed to become successful in a business well known for its failures.Customer Reviews:

A very helpful book...................2002-09-23
Prior to reading the book, I would look through clothing catalogs and find
really cute clothes. They may have been cute to me but they were not
professional. I was so thrilled and excited about the tips you gave me to
"professionalize" my wardrobe because of the upbeat and positive way you
presented the information. Immediately, I began to change the way I
dressed and soon I began to reap the results I wanted. The Directors
began to listen to me, I was handed high profile projects and people took
notice of me and have complimented me on my new look. Even more important,
I feel more positive at work and can concentrate on getting my job done no
matter what the world hands me that day.
