Are there basic rules governing design that, when learned, will facilitate the creative process? These questions have been asked by artists, art historians, and art critics throughout the ages.\u003cbr\u003eConvinced that design was not purely instinctive, Jay Hambidge (1867-1924) spent much of his life searching for the technical bases of design. He found his answer in dynamic symmetry, one of the most provocative and stimulating theories in art history. Hambidge's study of Greek art convinced him that the secret of the beauty of Greek design was in the conscious use of dynamic symmetry--the law of natural design based upon the symmetry of growth in man and in plants. But Hambidge, who was not only a theoretician but also a practicing artist, did much more than analyze classical art and its principles of design: he worked out a series of root rectangles that the artist, using the simple mathematics supplied in this book, can easily follow and apply in his own work.\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published as a series of lessons in Hambidge's magazine, \u003ci\u003eThe Diagonal, \u003c\/i\u003e this engrossing book explains all the basic principles of dynamic symmetry. Part I sets forth the fundamental rectangles with their simple divisions based on the proportioning law found in nature; Part I explains compound rectangles, many of which were taken from or suggested by analysis of objects of Greek art. \u003cbr\u003eWhether read for its historical importance in art theory, for its illuminating insights into Greek art, or for its practical value to today's artists and commercial designers, \u003ci\u003eThe Elements of Dynamic Symmetry\u003c\/i\u003e has much to offer anyone who is interested in the principle of design.\u003cbr\u003eDover republication of the third (1948) edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49612667584785,"sku":"GOR005213447","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49922793537809,"sku":"CIN0486217760G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50355180241169,"sku":"CIN0486217760A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50506890346769,"sku":"GOR011774796","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50604185354513,"sku":"CIN0486217760VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51002832191761,"sku":"NIN9780486217765","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51528356725009,"sku":"GOR002950081","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0486217760.jpg?v=1750976798"},{"product_id":"dynamic-symmetry-book-jay-hambidge-9781015656093","title":"Dynamic Symmetry","description":"\u003cbr\u003e This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
