As readers complete each section of dots in this fun activity book,
beautiful animal portraits are revealed -- so intricate they're
ready for display The 20 puzzles in this book are much more
sophisticated than the one-dimensional images created in childhood
connect-the-dots books. Tonal shading and expressive line work
build as each numbered section is finished. Dot-to-dot puzzles have
also been proven to increase short-term cognitive acuity, hand-eye
coordination, and concentration skills. Whether readers are filling
time on a rainy day, using the puzzles for a party game, or
learning the principles of drawing, "1000 Dot-to-Dot: Animals" is
fun for all ages.
There is renewed interest among art photographers in a number of
historic printing techniques because of the remarkable effects they
produce. The reader will discover how to create beautifully tinted
mono- and polychromatic gum and oil images using the author's
version of this 19th century technique. Step-by-step illustrated
instructions with directions for further experimentation provide a
perfect source for learning this new, yet old, printing technique.
Gumoil printing involves contact-printing a positive transparency
onto gum-coated paper. Oil paint is then applied and rubbed into
nongummed areas of the print. With bleach etching, mono- and
polychromatic variations are possible. A chapter on digital
printing combines the new and the historic, making this technique
even more accessible for the art photographer.
