内容简介

《中国美术院校教材：潘思同水彩画直观教材选》所介绍的是潘思同20世纪五、六十年代在浙江美术学院水彩画教学中使用的部分直观教材。所谓直观教材就是上课时的图示和示范作品。由于上课的教学时间有限，不可能在课堂里做大量示范，所以在每堂课上课之前，作为备课，潘思同都要针对一、二个问题，画一些直观教材，上面配备必要的文字说明，一方面为了节省时间，另一方面也为了取得视觉效果。在直观教材中，有些图本身就是独立的作品，因此，下课后学生常常争先恐后地拿去观摩、临摹。对这些直观教材，学生反应很好，有些青年教师也常借去作为参考。当时许多同行建议让这些教材印刷出版，但由于当时彩色印刷费用高昂，会大大提高书价，而且印刷质量也大有问题，如果采用黑白图版则大大削弱教材的直观效果，因而始终未能出版面世1993年，“

The Art of The Return of the King illustrates the creative development of the film from sketch to special effect and features 600 images, most appearing nowhere else. This fully authorized book includes pencil sketches by Alan Lee and John Howe, costume designes by Ngila Dickson, magnificent full-color paintings by Jeremy Bennett, and prop designs, concepts, sculptures and digital artwork from Weta Workshop and Weta Digital.

Hirshenson and Jenkins got their start casting for Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope Studios. When the studio went bust, they opened their own office, the Casting Company, and their book reminisces about the many films they've cast, including Harry Potter and A Beautiful Mind; the actors they've discovered, such as Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio and Scarlett Johansson; and some of the A-list directors, like Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg, who hired them. Given the authors' credentials (they have been casting partners since 1981), consider the advice they offer blue-chip. They cover everything from how to handle a call-back to telling actors to send head shots "that actually look like you." Most important, never take anything personally. A great audition doesn't always translate into a role: there are many factors that determine the final decision, such as chemistry, preference and competition. These veteran insiders have a passion for casting major motion pictures, and they use meetings with famous people to il

In this beautiful book, Pulitzer Prize--winning musician andcomposer Wynton Marsalis draws upon lessons he's learned from alifetime in jazz-lessons that can help us all move to higherground. With wit and candor he demystifies the music that is thebirthright of every American and demonstrates how a realunderstanding of the central idea of jazz-the unique balancebetween self-expression and sacrifice for the common goodexemplified on the bandstand-can enrich every aspect of our lives,from the bedroom to the boardroom, from the schoolroom to CityHall.

Clubs by their definition offer 'exclusivity': to be a member ofa club you have to meet the selected criteria, whatever that mightbe. The image of a club becomes the key to how its members identifywith it - be it the relaxed wholesome logos of health clubs; or thesleek aerodynamic images found in business-class airline lounges.This issue of AD sets out to examine how architects and interiordesigners effectively use the physical spaces of clubs to enforceimages of exclusivity and collective belonging. Traditionalgentlemen's clubs are looked at alongside a new generation ofsports, media, commercial and night clubs that are springing upacross the world. It also features interviews with Nigel Coates andDavid Adjaye.

The official inside story on the making of the award-winning movie trilogy The Lord of the Rings: The Making of the Movie Trilogy is a lavishly illustrated, behind-the-scenes, definitive account of the creation of an epic film experience. Hailed by critics worldwide, part one of the movie trilogy was a box-office smash, one of the most successful films of the decade. Peter Jackson's "fierce, imaginative movie takes high-flying risks and inspires with its power and scale," wrote Newsweek. "In every way this is moviemaking on a grand scale," wrote the San Francisco Chronicle, while Time proclaimed the "grandeur, moral heft and emotional depth" of the film, which received thirteen Academy Award(R) nominations. Including more than 300 photographs from all three films, most unique to this book, and exclusive interviews with all the cast and crew, Brian Sibley's fascinating book takes every fan inside the process of adapting J.R.R. Tolkien's masterwork for the screen. For the first time in histor

Rem Koolhaas (Rotterdam,1944)studied architecture at the AA in London--where he went on tobecome a lecturer--and at the IAUS in New York, during PeterEisenman's time there. Koolhaas has always been connected with thetheory of architecture, as lecturer at the innovative AA, as aspeaker, and with his published work: Delirious New York, aretrospective manifesto for Manhattan (1978) and the recent S, M,L, XL (1995). In 1972 Koolhaas set up the OMA (Office forMetropolitan Architecture), whose name clearly expresses theplanning intentions of the team, comprising Koolhaas, Elia and ZoeZenghelis, and Madelon Vriessendorp.
