Excellent textbook on the mathematics of Perspective
5 settembre 2011
Di Ed Pegg
- Pubblicato su Amazon.com
Formato:Rilegato
At the start of the book, students are looking at normal hallways, rooms, and buildings through sheets of plexiglas, and tracing the outlines of what they see with drafting tape. From there, it's easy to see the concept of vanishing points.
A few pages later, an image from Jurassic Park with a velociraptor walking towards Sam Neill is shown. As an exercise, the students must compare the position of a clawtip to the bottom of a doorframe. I've messed up this issue of image placement many times, so this simple exercise brought home a lesson for me.
Interspersed are artist vignettes with Sherry Stone, Peter Galante, Jim Rose, Robert Bosch, Dick Termes, Teri Wagner, and Kerry Mitchell, each discussing and detailing a particularly useful mathematical technique in art.
The core part of the book is 1, 2, and 3 point perspective, but with the idea that you'll be using a modern program of some sort. Then they introduce fractal geometry in a way I didn't expect, by taking a picture of a patch of grass and a small rock, and photopasting in a toy gnu and a climber. Small rocks look like big rocks look like mountains. I knew that, but I hadn't been tricked by it before, so I got the lesson better this time.
Recommended.

I have to admit, this book is pretty challenging. There is a ton of geometry math that is used to describe the mathematical aspects of perspective. But it is a face, it increased my understanding of perspective. It is not an easy book to get through, and frankly I probably only understood about 20% of it, but that 20% was useful, and some day I will probably go back and actually try to do the exercises.
