With mathematical perfection, its recurring structures seem to magically adapt as they show up in hundreds of ways: the radial star at the centre of snowflakes, fruits and flowers, and the arms of starfish; spirals at the heart of nautilus shells, unfurling plants, and swirling storm systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBorrowing the beauty of nature's forms can help you create beautiful artwork. Observing the structure of nature's forms can help you to be a better designer. The inspiration is limitless. Nature's design magic is a balancing act found in its perfect ratios. The sections of this sketchbook - \u003ci\u003eStar, Branch, Spiral, and Fan\u003c\/i\u003e - focus on four of those deceptively simple design principles and why they work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist\/author will use her own nature-based sketches and drawings to guide readers toward looking closely at each design form and the myriad places where it occurs. Readers will discover ways to use each form in their own artwork, realistically, abstractly, or as motifs in repeat borders and patterns. Drawings created for the book will be paired with photographs of the forms as they occur naturally. And, in a non-academic way, the text will touch on nature's beautiful balances, and the art of using them when you draw and design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471616655596,"sku":"9781631591495","price":62.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781631591495-star-branch-spiral-fan.jpg?v=1775247938"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/yellena-james.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
