Leonardo and the Magic Art Cart Art a la Cart, Book One By Marianne Bickett (c)2013 ISBN #s: 978-1-4669-8207-9 (SC) 978-1-4669-8209-3 (HC) 978-1-4669-8209-6 (EBooks) About the Book: Recommended for ages ten through adult. Hi, my name is Kala Milerano. Recently my family relocated to California from a small ranch in Oregon. Last year, my mother died, so my father decided a new life would help him to move on. Zia Vera, my eccentric great- aunt arrived to live with us. There's no such thing as an ordinary day with her! Creek Side Elementary School is full of surprises and my first year in Mr. Well's fifth grade class has been utterly unbelievable. We have a new art teacher, Ms. Fitt - yes, that's her real name - who has this amazing art cart, that takes us on adventures beyond our wildest imaginations. Who would have thought that we'd meet the Leonardo da Vinci in person? The trouble is he slips unnoticed into the future, and then we lose Leonardo when we try to get him back to the Renaissance. My friends and I have to figure out how to rescue the great artist and return Leonardo before he gets any older, which is a big problem because he keeps growing so fast! Thank goodness we meet Strega Maria, who guides us and sends us off on our own. And, to top it off, we meet this wonderful young artist from the Baroque period, Elisabetta Sirani, who helps us find our way. Leonardo and the Magic Art Cart, Art a la Cart Book One is a planned series of magical encounters with artists of the past, present and future, led by the zany Ms. Fitt. All is not as it seems and Ms. Fitt is not who she seems to be, either. Mystery enfolds the cast of characters, as they not only learn about artists and art, but about connections, loss, letting go, and beginning again. Art may imitate life; however, art is definitely life! To learn more about the book and meet the author, visit: www.MariannArts.biz

Leonardo and the Last Supper
Author: Ross King
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 0747599475
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Milan, 1496 and forty-four-year-old Leonardo da Vinci has a reputation for taking on commissions and failing to complete them. He is in a state of professional uncertainty and financial difficulty. For eighteen months he has been painting murals in both the Sforza Castle in Milan and the refectory of the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie. The latter project will become the Last Supper, a complex mural that took a full three years to complete on a surface fifteen feet high by twenty feet wide. Not only had he never attempted a painting of such size, but he had no experience whatsoever in painting in the physically demanding medium of fresco.For more than five centuries the Last Supper has been an artistic, religious and cultural icon. The art historian Kenneth Clark has called it 'the keystone of European art', and for a century after its creation it was regarded as nothing less than a miraculous image. Even today, according to Clark, we regard the painting as 'more a work of nature than a work of man'. And yet there is a very human story behind this artistic 'miracle', which was created against the backdrop of momentous events both in Milan and in the life of Leonardo himself.In Leonardo and the Last Supper, Ross King tells the complete story of this creation of this mural: the adversities suffered by the artist during its execution; the experimental techniques he employed; the models for Christ and the Apostles that he used; and the numerous personalities involved - everyone from the Leonardo's young assistants to Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan who commissioned the work. Ross King's new book is both a record of Leonardo da Vinci's last five years in Milan and a 'biography' of one of the most famous works of art ever painted.

Titian's Touch
Author: Maria H. Loh
Publisher: Reaktion Books
ISBN: 178914082X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
At the end of his long, prolific life, Titian was rumored to paint directly on the canvas with his bare hands. He would slide his fingers across bright ridges of oil paint, loosening the colors, blending, blurring, and then bringing them together again. With nothing more than the stroke of a thumb or the flick of a nail, Titian’s touch brought the world to life. The clinking of glasses, the clanging of swords, and the cry of a woman’s grief. The sensation of hair brushing up against naked flesh, the sudden blush of unplanned desire, and the dry taste of fear in a lost, shadowy place. Titian’s art, Maria H. Loh argues in this exquisitely illustrated book, was and is a synesthetic experience. To see is at once to hear, to smell, to taste, and to touch. But while Titian was fully attached to the world around him, he also held the universe in his hands. Like a magician, he could conjure appearances out of thin air. Like a philosopher, his exploration into the very nature of things channelled and challenged the controversial ideas of his day. But as a painter, he created the world anew. Dogs, babies, rubies, and pearls. Falcons, flowers, gloves, and stone. Shepherds, mothers, gods, and men. Paint, canvas, blood, sweat, and tears. In a series of close visual investigations, Loh guides us through the lush, vibrant world of Titian’s touch.

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) created many of the most beautiful and important drawings in the history of Western art. Many of these were anatomical and became the yardstick for the early study of the human body. From their unique perspectives as artist and scientist, brothers Stephen and Michael Farthing analyse Leonardo's drawings - which are concerned chiefly with the skeletal, cardiovascular, muscular and nervous systems - and discuss the impact they had on both art and medical understanding. Stephen Farthing has created a series of drawings in response to Leonardo, which are reproduced with commentary by Michael, who also provides a useful glossary of medical terminology. Together, they reveal how some of Leonardo's leaps of understanding were nothing short of revolutionary and, despite some misunderstandings, the accuracy of Leonardo's grasp. AUTHORS: Professor Stephen Farthing RA is a painter, teacher and writer on the history of art. Formerly Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sussex, Professor Michael Farthing is a distinguished physician and researcher. SELLING POINTS: * A new examination of Leonardo da Vinci's groundbreaking anatomical drawings * Two brothers - a painter and a doctor - discuss the artistic and scientific significance of Leonardo's drawings, which continue to entrance over 500 years after they were made 60 colour images
