L'arte del colore. Guida pratica all'uso dei colori

Per molti aspetti, insegnare a disegnare è come insegnare ad andare in bicicletta. È molto difficile da spiegare a parole. Quando si cerca di insegnare a una persona ad andare in bicicletta, si dice: «Devi salire, spingere sui pedali, mantenerti in equilibrio, ed ecco che ti trovi ad andare». Naturalmente, questa non è affatto una spiegazione e probabilmente si finirà col dire: «Aspetta, ora salgo io in bicicletta e ti faccio vedere: guarda come faccio». Così è per il disegno. Saper disegnare dipende dal saper vedere nel modo in cui vede l’artista, e questo modo di vedere arricchisce straordinariamente la nostra vita. TRADOTTO IN TREDICI LINGUE, CON OLTRE DUE MILIONI E MEZZO DI COPIE VENDUTE, TORNA, IN UN’EDIZIONE COMPLETAMENTE RIVISTA E AGGIORNATA, IL MANUALE PIÙ USATO AL MONDO PER IMPARARE A DISEGNARE. Seguendo il rivoluzionario approccio al disegno che l’ha resa celebre, Betty Edwards ha aggiornato il suo notissimo manuale, migliorandolo in base ai recenti sviluppi della ricerca scientifica sul cervello e aggiungendo nuovo materiale sulle tecniche di disegno. Grazie a una serie di immagini esplicative, di suggerimenti pratici e di esercizi intesi a sviluppare la capacità di «vedere artisticamente», ossia di percepire la realtà non secondo gli schemi precostituiti della mente razionale (gestita dall’emisfero sinistro del cervello), bensì attraverso lo sviluppo delle categorie intuitive e della creatività (cui presiede l’emisfero destro), tutti, anche chi è convinto di non avere talento artistico, riusciranno a disegnare. E, soprattutto, impareranno a sviluppare il potenziale creativo e le innate doti artistiche di cui dispongono, mettendo a frutto capacità che potranno rivelarsi utili in ogni ambito della loro vita.

The reason for me writing this book is so that you would know how to forgive a person for the horrific things that they have done to you. As a child and teenager being bless at the end that still loving your self and being thankful for the children you have. At twelve, I was told by a doctor that my womb was damaged so bad that he wasn’t sure if I was going to have children. Years after this, I gave birth to seven children—five boys and two girls. I lost one of my children in 2014 to sickness, and he died three days before his twenty-third birthday. I’ve been through a lot over the years, but I never let it get me down. I look up to God through it all. I have seen the people that hurt me and have forgiven them for me and not for them. I love my mother and forgave her. I understand not everyone is able to take care of their children. No need to take on a job you can’t handle. I raised my children with love and I also tell them to never hurt people and the ones they love. If any of you are going through what I have been through, please get help and don’t let this break you down. Seek therapy. Never stop loving yourself and stay strong and loving. You will be all right to the point where you will want to help others in a good way. I can say this because that’s what I have been doing and I have people who look up to me, including my children. I am glad to be a blessing to someone.

Well known for its oil and gas production, Kermit was originally founded by ranchers needing a supply hub in an isolated area of West Texas. An 1876 campaign by Col. Ranald S. Mackenzie helped rid the area of Comanche Indians, and prompted by the state's policy for free use of its land, ranchers quickly moved in. This population growth resulted in the establishment of Winkler County in 1887. Competition between nearby towns for the title of county seat lasted until 1910, when Kermit's offer of free lots won it the designation. Though the town later experienced a drought, which severely crippled the population, the discovery of oil on ranchland owned by Thomas G. and Ada Hendrick in 1926 helped the town boom. Today Kermit's economy is sustained by ranching and oil and gas production.
