They all have natural proportioning systems that provide the foundation for the work of many -some would say all- artist and designers. In this newly revised and updated second edition, author Kimberly Elam uncovers the mysterious relationship between mathematics and beauty, taking us into the magical realm of geometry -of golden Sections and Divine Proportion and the Fibonacci Sequence- in languaje accesible to even the most math-squeamish. After reading Geometry of Design, artist and designers will understand he role of symmetry, order, and visual balance in art and design and be able to recognize and employ these principles in their own work.
Geometry of design, second design, with its detailed diagrams and beautiful vellum overlays, explains not only how the science of measurement informs, even, creates, beauty in nature and art but, more importantly, how we can use these techniques to create beauty in our own designs. The new edition features and additional thirty-six pages of content that offers more visual explanations of these geometric principles at work.
