Summary

Drawing nature, in any medium, is an excellent pursuit. Apart from getting you out into the world and helping you to appreciate its beauties and structure, it calms the mind and soothes the emotions. In this book you will discover the many aspects of drawing the natural world, starting with a close observation of plants and flowers, before exploring the possibilities of nature still lifes that can be made in the comfort of your own home. As you begin to tackle the outside world, step-by-step examples will show you how to draw trees, rocks, water and sky, using a variety of drawing materials. A chapter on drawing animals covers creatures from crabs to tigers, showing what fun they are to draw and how they present very different challenges for the artist. The final two chapters will focus on drawing landscapes, bringing together the different elements into a harmonious composition. Whether you are drawing in a garden, a park or the open countryside, you will find it extremely rewarding to create a record of where you have been and a feel greater connection to the natural world.

    Degas was a French artist famous for his work in painting, sculpture, printmaking, and drawing. His career was long and his style, unlike that of most famous artists who worked into their old age, never ceased developing. He is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism and is especially identified with the subject of dance (over half of his works depict dancers such as The Dance Class or the sculpture Little Ballet Dancer). These display his mastery in the depiction of movement, as do his less common themes of horse racing and female nudes (After the Bath). His portraits are considered to be among the finest in the history of art. His work was strongly influenced by Ingres and Delacroix combining the expressive qualities of Ingres with the colour of Delacroix.

    In the Fall of 2013, the School of Arts and Culture in California debuted a new course—Hiphop Theatre. The students were surprised to find parallels between modern Hiphop music and classic theatre plays by William Shakespeare. Rap and Hiphop music, just like any other music, is a form of art. It is also the go-to form of expression for the marginalized members of our society. "The Milkcrate Monologues" is an exercise in expertly blending Hiphop and theatre, turning the trademark milkcrate of vinyl records on its head and converting it to a platform for young people to find their own voices. This book contains a set of Hiphop monologues for theatre written by recording artist, performer, and producer, Ron Johnson Jr., known in the music scene as PHILASIFER. The powerful monologues are meant for auditions, arts education, and performance, giving actors an understanding of the themes, emotion, circumstance, and vibes that create Hiphop. The flexibility of these speeches is that they can be done solo or with a few actors. This gives dramatists and performers alike the opportunity to incorporate vignettes and push the envelope theatrically. Conversely, that flexibility also creates the opportunity to be performed as stand-alone pieces. The "The Milkcrate Monologues" are all about the WORD and the experience that is Hiphop culture. However they are practiced or performed, their ultimate goal is to move past the concept of rap in theatre, instead, creating something all its own.

    Praise for Mysteries in the Music: Case Closed 
    "Jim Berkenstadt, the Rock And Roll Detective®, strikes again! Rock and Roll was built on its own crazy mythology, but Jim knows the true stories are likely to be even wilder than the myths. Mysteries surrounding Bob Marley, Elvis, The Beatles, the Stones, the Beach Boys, Nirvana, Traveling Wilburys, and even the FBI are finally revealed. I read this book with great pleasure and fascination and I have no doubt that you will too."

    “An engrossing new page turner” about one of old Hollywood’s royal families: “theater people don't get more interesting, and it's a true tale well told" (Hollywood Reporter).   In the early 1930s, Constance Bennett was the highest paid star in Hollywood, famous for dramatic roles before reinventing herself in the classic comedy Topper, starring opposite Cary Grant. Her sister Joan played the femme fatale in films like Scarlet Street and also starred in lighter films like Father of the Bride. Though their names are not well known today, the Bennett family is one of the most storied families in Hollywood history.   The saga begins with Richard Bennett, who left small-town Indiana to become one of the bright lights of the New York stage during the early twentieth century. In time, however, Richard's fame was eclipsed by that of his two acting daughters. But the Bennett family also includes another sister, Barbara, whose promising beginnings as a dancer gave way to a turbulent marriage to singer Morton Downey and a steady decline into alcoholism.   Constance and Joan were among Hollywood's biggest stars, but their personal lives were anything but serene. In 1943, Constance became entangled in a highly publicized court battle with the family of her millionaire ex-husband, and in 1951, Joan's husband, producer Walter Wanger, shot her lover in broad daylight, sparking one of the biggest Hollywood scandals of the 1950s.
