The Practice and Science of Drawing
By:Harold Speed
Published on 2019-06-22 by Gioffredi

This book is a comprehensive treatise on the practice and scientific discipline of drawing. Educated in the rigorous, formal training of the prestigious Royal Academy, Harold Speed distills his knowledge of the materials and methods of academic drawing. He offers intelligent and thoughtful insight learned during his distinguished carrier as one of England's greatest portrait painters. More than just a technical manual, the book questions and challenges the definition of art. Speed investigates the theoretical underpinnings on what elevates a drawing beyond mere mechanical accuracy. Throughout, he discusses how an artistic freedom he terms |dither| allows the artist to imbue in a work, their own individual vision.

This perspective has influenced our thinking for centuries. However, recent evidence challenges the Copernican Principle, hinting that we do in fact live in a special place, at a special time, as the product of a chain of unlikely events. But can we be signi...

In this riveting investigation, Stanislas Dehaene provides an accessible account of the brain circuitry of reading and explores what he calls the ?reading paradox?: Our cortex is the product of millions of years of evolution in a world without writing, so how did it adapt to recognize words? Reading in the Brain describes pioneering research on how we process language, revealing the hidden logic of spelling and the existence of powerful unconscious mechanisms for decoding words of any size, case, or font. Dehaene?s research will fascinate not only readers interested in science and culture, but also educators concerned with debates on how we learn to read, and who wrest...
