Figure drawing - Wikipedia These areas can relate to figure drawing, perspective, general rendering, or more detailed subjects like animals. Life drawing techniques are always valuable for studying any subject. But the intricacies of animal anatomy are most often learned from books. Author Ken Hultgren is a former animator at Walt Disney and he has years of experience to back up the writing in this book. The Art of Animal Drawing teaches how to look at animals from two perspectives: realism and cartoony drawings. Detailed construction is vital to the accurate design of animal illustrations. Hultgren covers all of this while sharing tips to improve your drawings along the way. Everyone from sculptors to 3D animators and digital artists can learn from studying anatomy. An Atlas of Animal Anatomy for Artists is one of the best you can get. This book covers the skeletons, muscles, tendons and outer layers of skin for a number of common mammals. But this book is a great place to start for drawing common animals like dogs, horses, cows, and lions. This is much more valuable to an artist who can extrapolate the information across a broad range of animals for example, rhinos and hippos. Artists should do their own research and keep themselves educated on the nuances of animal anatomy. But there is no wrong way to study and everyone needs a jumping off point. I trust his teaching style and definitely recommend all of his books to serious artists. Learning to draw animals the right way helps a lot whether you want to become an illustrator, painter, sculptor, animator, or any other type of artist. The book Animal Drawing: Anatomy and Action for Artists teaches less about detailed anatomy and more about drawing. You get a wide variety of animals to study including most zoo animals like gorillas and giraffes. Birds are another topic of discussion since their feathers are often difficult to render for beginners. This is less of a detailed anatomy book and more of How to Draw and Paint Anatomy: Creating Life-Like Humans and Realistic Animals guide to actually drawing animals realistically. The Weatherly Guide to Drawing Animals relies on this strategy by teaching artists how to break down animals into their simpler forms. Anyone can pick up this book from any skill level and learn a lot from the exercises. Weatherly shares lots of diagrams and drawings in the book so you can see how he approaches animal drawing. But you should only use these as suggestions to help you find your own style of drawing animal creatures from life. The right drawing techniques can be all you need to take How to Draw and Paint Anatomy: Creating Life-Like Humans and Realistic Animals game up to the next level. The author Doug Lindstrand has over 30 years experience observing animals in the wild and studying how they move. He teaches in a step-by- step approach using lessons and guided exercises to help you achieve a realistic end result. I love this book for its simplicity and practicality. Definitely a nice book for beginners who want to learn the constructionist approach to drawing from life. This is exceptionally difficult but can be learned with lots of practice. I recently covered some creature design books that deal with imaginary drawing. Most of those books would be helpful study resources along with Animals Real and Imagined. This book teaches you how to render ancient creatures like dinosaurs without actually looking at How to Draw and Paint Anatomy: Creating Life-Like Humans and Realistic Animals. The book is filled with notes and anatomy sketches for How to Draw and Paint Anatomy: Creating Life-Like Humans and Realistic Animals imaginary creatures so you can see how they might be imagined in the mind of a professional artist. These diagram sketches include the bones and muscles so you can even understand the movement patterns of these creatures. Anyone looking to start with life drawing should skip this book. However once you get into creating professional concept art you can glean a lot from the examples and suggestions in this title. This book flips the idea of drawing on its head by studying the concepts first. Designing a creature from scratch can be broken down into a straightforward process. But it is possible to learn and even master. She shares her years of experience in this book which can be invaluable to young artists. However Animals Drawing Masterclass is a nice exception, albeit still not quite How to Draw and Paint Anatomy: Creating Life-Like Humans and Realistic Animals to the name. But it does come with great exercises teaching you how to draw animals in a step-by-step fashion. These even include video references if you want to study each step of the way. Drawing animals can only get better the more you practice, but the right kind of practice matters. Everyone mocks the goofy online tutorials of how to draw an owl that resemble the absurdity of teaching someone to draw. I commend How to Draw Animals for keeping the process simple yet relatable. Young artists and even kids may be able to follow the early lessons in this book. It focuses primarily on house pets which are found everywhere and super easy to reference. This book makes it easy to get started but it will not teach you everything. Artist and photographer J. Amberlyn combines her love of animals into her book Drawing Wildlife. The early chapters talk about basic animal anatomy and quickly move into more detailed topics of rendering and construction. Over different animal case studies are used throughout the book to illustrate drawing techniques. As you can tell this is much more of a woodsy type wildlife book so there is nothing about drawing sea creatures. But the details you do get are phenomenal along with very high quality photos. The goal here is to tone your traditional art skills and help you build a visual library for your drawing exercises. A great book for wildlife fans but like most books it will not cover every topic. Drawing animals is no different than drawing people, cars, or objects. You study the fundamentals first and learn how to apply these skills into any subject matter.

  • Rita Nowak Homo Kallipygos 03.10.19
    Rita Nowak Homo Kallipygos 03.10.19 - 26.10.19 Mittwoch-Samstag, 12.00-18.00 Matthew Bown Gallery Pohlstrasse 48 10785 Berlin Rita Nowak's exhibition Homo Kallipygos is a series of photographs, of artists and not- artists, shot in Vienna, London and elsewhere. Fraternity, sorority; physical intimacy made compatible with the formality of spectacle; and the allure of the nude body are explored via the motif of the buttocks: the preferred, gender-neutral, erogenous zone of our age. The title of the show derives from the Aphrodite Kallipygos (aka Callipygian Venus), literally, Venus of the Beautiful Buttocks, a Roman copy in marble of an original Greek bronze [1]. Aphrodite's pose is an example of anasyrma: the act of lifting one's skirt to expose the nether parts for the pleasure of spectators [2]. Nowak's student diploma work, Ultravox (2004), referred to Henry Wallis's Death of Chatterton (1856), since when Nowak has regularly evoked the heritage of figurative painting. Centrefold cites an earlier pin-up, Boucher's Blonde Odalisque (1751-2), the image of a fourteen-year-old model, Marie-Louise O'Murphy [3]. Tobias Urban, a member of the Vienna-based artists' group Gelitin, sprawls not on a velvet divan in the boudoir but on that icon of contemporary consumerism, an abandoned faux-leather sofa, installed in a sea of mud. The title suggests that Urban, like O'Murphy, is intended as an object of our erotic fantasy; the pose is subtly altered from Boucher's original, the point- of-view is shifted a few degrees: we see a little less of the face, more of the buttocks and genitals [4].

  • Never Simply Nudity
    Never Simply Nudity A Study of the Functions of the Nude Female Figure in Athenian Vase-Painting c. 480-420 BCE Amy Martin Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Samantha Masters March 2017 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. March 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Recent studies regarding the motif of the nude female figure on Athenian red-figure vases of the 5th century BCE have caused much controversy among contemporary scholars. Whereas the nude male figure on Athenian vases is generally perceived by scholars as representative of heroic, ritualistic or civic nudity, the female form’s nude state remains ambiguous in comparison. In an attempt to uncover the cultural significance behind the appearance of the nude female figure on Athenian vases, multiple scholars have suggested that her utterly exposed state must surely have been indicative of a ‘disreputable’ status, especially that of the hetaira. However, this interpretation is problematic as it ultimately restricts the possible function(s) of the nude female figure to being primarily erotic in nature.

Video games can be First Amendment-protected expression, however, as in other media, there’s tension between the speech rights of creators and the personal rights of subjects. Furthermore, there’s disagreement from one jurisdiction to another regarding how much mimicry loses protection and how many dissimilarities are transfor- mative enough to be lawful. Analysis of case law reveals a balancing act between protecting video games as expressive works and protecting indivi- duals’ right of publicity.

  • THE MOVING FINGER Agatha Christie
    THE MOVING FINGER Agatha Christie Chapter 1 I have often recalled the morning when the first of the anonymous letters came. It arrived at breakfast and I turned it over in the idle way one does when time goes slowly and every event must be spun out to its full extent. It was, I saw, a local letter with a typewritten address. I opened it before the two with London postmarks, since one of them was clearly a bill, and on the other I recognised the handwriting of one of my more tiresome cousins. It seems odd, now, to remember that Joanna and I were more amused by the letter than anything else. We hadn't, then, the faintest inkling of what was to come - the trail of blood and violence and suspicion and fear. One simply didn't associate that sort of thing with Lymstock. I see that I have begun badly. I haven't explained Lymstock. When I took a bad crash flying, I was afraid for a long time, in spite of soothing words from doctors and nurses, that I was going to be condemned to lie on my back all my life. Then at last they took me out of the plaster and I learned cautiously to use my limbs, and finally Marcus Kent, my doctor, clapped me on my back and told me that everything was going to be all right, but that I'd got to go and live in the country and lead the life of a vegetable for at least six months.

  • The Meanings of Nudity in Medieval Art: an Introduction1
    The Meanings of Nudity in Medieval Art: An Introduction1 Sherry C.M. Lindquist Johann Joachim Winckelmann and other early founders of the modern discipline of art history hailed the idealized nude—developed in ancient Greece, adopted by the Romans, and subject to imitation and revival ever since—as a superior, “classical,” distinctively Western approach to representing the human body.2 Such presumptions about the classical nude inform the traditional art historical canon, coloring judgments about other traditions and societies, and distorting our view even of certain eras of Western art history, particularly the Middle Ages.3 In spite of some exceptional studies to be discussed below, the tradition of representing the unclothed body in the Middle Ages, when it is acknowledged at all, has been most often reduced to what is considered a typical medieval Christian ascetic rejection of the body.4 This simplification is frankly astonishing when one considers the complex, multivalent and inventive iconographic contexts in which full or partial nakedness appears in medieval art: biblical stories featuring Adam and Eve, Susannah and the Elders, David and Bathsheba, the rape of the Levite’s wife, the nakedness of Noah, and the Baptism of Christ, among others; the transcendent suffering body in representations of the lives of the saints and Christ; additional narratives that feature holy figures like Martin and Francis divesting themselves of clothes; the lactating Virgin; baptism scenes; birth scenes; bath scenes; medical miniatures; Sheela-na-gigs; illuminations in legal manuscripts addressing cases of impotence, rape, and adultery; Pygmalion’s statue; Venus and other “pagan idols;” demons; hybrid creatures; anthropomorphized sexual organs worn as badges; souls; the dead; the monstrous races; lovers in romances; personifications of Luxuria, and more.

  • Simulated Shooting Should Be Punished by NFL ______
    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ + MISCELLANEOUS Simulated shooting should be punished by NFL ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I'm waiting to see what the behavior police at the National Football League will do in response to the display of unsportsmanlike conduct at last night's nationally televised Eagles-Giants game. I'm not talking about the sequence of post-whistle skirmishes between the two rivals of the gridiron or the fight that resulted in offsetting penalties on players from both teams. I'm also not referring to the stupid taunts from Eagles DeSean Jackson directed toward the entire Giants team after the receiver pulled in a 50-yard pass right in front of the opponent's bench -- a truly juvenile act that prompted a penalty flag negating the big gain. I'm much more concerned about a spontaneous celebration from Eagles linebacker Brian Rolle midway through the second quarter, a rookie mistake that warrants an NFL sanction. You may have missed it -- the refs apparently did. And the NBC announcers failed to take notice, even when the player's antics were shown on replay. Immediately after he and his defensive mates had cornered a Giants ball carrier several yards behind the line of scrimmage, Rolle jumped up and started mimicking machine-gun fire. With a deliberate back-and- forth sweeping motion, Rolle appeared as if he were aiming and shooting at the Giants home crowd. Had Rolle pointed his imaginary weapon at one of the Giants players, he likely would have been penalized 15 yards for taunting. According to a footnote int the NFL Rule Book, a "machine gun salute" also constitutes taunting, presuming that such a gesture directed at the crowd is included.

  • The Long New Right and the World It Made Daniel Schlozman Johns
    The Long New Right and the World It Made Daniel Schlozman Johns Hopkins University [email protected] Sam Rosenfeld Colgate University [email protected] Version of January 2019. Paper prepared for the American Political Science Association meetings. Boston, Massachusetts, August 31, 2018. We thank Dimitrios Halikias, Katy Li, and Noah Nardone for research assistance. Richard Richards, chairman of the Republican National Committee, sat, alone, at a table near the podium. It was a testy breakfast at the Capitol Hill Club on May 19, 1981. Avoiding Richards were a who’s who from the independent groups of the emergent New Right: Terry Dolan of the National Conservative Political Action Committee, Paul Weyrich of the Committee for the Survival of a Free Congress, the direct-mail impresario Richard Viguerie, Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum and STOP ERA, Reed Larson of the National Right to Work Committee, Ed McAteer of Religious Roundtable, Tom Ellis of Jesse Helms’s Congressional Club, and the billionaire oilman and John Birch Society member Bunker Hunt. Richards, a conservative but tradition-minded political operative from Utah, had complained about the independent groups making mischieF where they were not wanted and usurping the traditional roles of the political party. They were, he told the New Rightists, like “loose cannonballs on the deck of a ship.” Nonsense, responded John Lofton, editor of the Viguerie-owned Conservative Digest. If he attacked those fighting hardest for Ronald Reagan and his tax cuts, it was Richards himself who was the loose cannonball.1 The episode itself soon blew over; no formal party leader would follow in Richards’s footsteps in taking independent groups to task.

Regulating striptease and ‘adult entertainment’ in the UK Phil Hubbard, Professor of Urban Social Geography, Loughborough University E-mail: [email protected] Biographical detail: Phil Hubbard is Professor of Urban Social Geography at Loughborough University. He is author or editor of nine books, including Sex and the city: geographies of prostitution in the urban West (1999), The Sage Companion to the City (2008) and Key Texts in Human Geography (2008). 1 Encouraging sexual exploitation? Regulating striptease and ‘adult entertainment’ in the UK Abstract Over the last decade, dedicated adult entertainment venues offering forms of striptease have proliferated in the UK. In many locales these venues attract considerable opposition, with campaigners alleging nuisances ranging from noise and drunkenness through to harassment of local residents. Local authorities consider such complaints when they decide whether or not to grant licenses for such venues, but under current licensing laws, are not able to consider objections made on grounds of morality or taste. Focusing on the ongoing opposition to proposed adult entertainment venues in the UK, this paper explores the case made for the reform of licensing laws as they pertain to nude dance venues. In doing so, it notes the lack of empirical evidence suggesting such venues deserve to be treated differently from other spaces of public entertainment, and argues that the impending reform of licensing law is underpinned by possibly flawed assumptions about the gendered and sexed nature of adult entertainment.
