Craftsmen Series Question

[RMorrison]

I did a quick google search of her work. I have to admit that I felt a little lost looking at her buildings. I'm not sure where to look at, and what I am looking at. I will admit the design is impressive, but I just don't get it. The function of the building is lost on me.

I think more than most architects, her work is about movement (spatially and temporally), so it may not be possible to really appreciate her work without moving through it in person. But we're WAY off of the original Craftsman post here...

No intention to flame here. And that is interesting that you say, Wendy, as I have been considering taking my bachelors in Fine Arts.

I am currently studying Classical Drawing Atelier by Juliette Aristides. This is a study on the original classical drawing and proportioning systems. She has an art school and studio in Seattle WA.

She also has published a book on classical painting. The same rules apply to drawing and painting as apply to photography and rendering techniques. Highly recommend looking into this if you are serious about learning art.

I completely forgot I had this tucked away on my computer.

The Craftsman Style Guide, in pdf. I don't know who created it or where I got it, but it's a great resource.

I had to split it up into two pdf files because of the size.

Thanks Allen, that is great reference material.

This is the same guide that Dorothy referenced on page p.1 of this thread. (Although her link doesn't work.) http://www.ci.glendale.ca.us/plannin...%20Version.pdf

Thanks for that Allen. Do you happen to have any more for other styles?

[Allen Brown]

No I don't.
