Illustrator and concept artist Devin Elle Kurtz shares her journey,
from childhood ambitions to be an artist and finding the best
educational fit, to working in the industry as she continues to
develop her craft. The Art of Devin Elle Kurtz bursts with the
stunning color, light, and storytelling that Devin has mastered,
using traditional and digital methods. This is a unique opportunity
to learn from a young industry professional. Devin recalls
navigating educational opportunities, looking for the combination
of formal classes and personal study that suited her needs. Color
and light play a huge part - whether she uses traditional or
digital techniques - and specially commissioned tutorials give
aspiring artists the chance to sample her methods while evolving
their skills. Readers will also enjoy the intriguing subject of
storytelling, as Devin explores the themes that feature the most in
her own work, including where they originated from. These insights
and reflections are not only fascinating, but also help readers
unlock their own authentic storytelling potential. Devin has been
handpicked to join the ranks of superstar artists who have produced
their Art of... books with 3dtotal Publishing, creating the unique
blend of advice, tutorials, inspiration, and galleries that we love
to see.
The Bristol-based animation company Aardman is best known for its
most famous creations Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. But
despite the quintessentially British aesthetic and tone of its
movies, this very British studio continues to enjoy international
box office success with movies such as Shaun the Sheep Movie,
Flushed Away and Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
Aardman has always been closely linked with one of its key
animators, Nick Park, and its stop motion, Plasticine-modelled
family films, but it has more recently begun to experiment with
modern digital filmmaking effects that either emulate 'Claymation'
methods or form a hybrid animation style. This unique volume brings
together leading film and animation scholars with children's
media/animation professionals to explore the production practices
behind Aardman's creativity, its history from its early shorts to
contemporary hits, how its films fit within traditions of British
animation, social realism and fantasy cinema, the key personalities
who have formed its ethos, its representations of 'British-ness' on
screen and the implications of traditional animation methods in a
digital era.

This book provides insights into the practice of trance-based
inquiry through arts-based research, serving as a beacon to guide
the way to thresholds of ancient, yet novel, transmissions.
Embedded in lived experience and theory, this book introduces the
reader to the liminal space of place and trance-based inquiry
processes entwined with creative artworkings. The interweaving of
art, ritual, and trance-based inquiry opens sacred spaces for
learning and unlearning that bring spirit into form. Each chapter
presents examples from women artists and culminates with
experiential practices drawn from the author's decades of creative
peregrinations to assist artists, teachers, and researchers in
transmitting a conscious way of practicing and creating with
trance.

In the past, slipcasting was primarily considered an industrial
method. Today, however, ceramic artists are adapting its techniques
to create a wide range of beautiful and highly individualised
pieces. Sasha Wardell clearly explains and demonstrates the
techniques involved and shows how they can be adapted for the
studio workshop. This book gives the reader a thorough grounding in
all aspects of mould making and slipcasting. Examples of the work
of an international group of artists are used to illustrate the
breadth and versatility of the work that can be created. The images
in this second edition have been updated to colour, along with a
revised chapter on individual approaches by well-known contemporary
artists.
