Beautifully rendered, imaginative new geometrical designs. 46 designs.
Over 100 ingeniously constructed designs form dazzling optical illusions and geometric shapes, offering ample opportunities for imaginative and inventive coloring. This compilation consists of 4 volumes that are popular with colorists of all ages: Geometrical Design Coloring Book, Visual Illusions Coloring Book, Optical Illusions Coloring Book, and Dazzling Designs Coloring Book.
Simple, direct language discusses color pigments, paper, and other supplies; washes, strokes, and use of accessories for special effects. Valuable instructions on composition. 125 illustrations, including 37 color plates.
A host of ingeniously contrived constructions and strange interlocking shapes offer opportunities for imaginative and inventive coloring. Follow the coloring instructions and then use the enclosed 3-D glasses to enjoy the stunning effects.
Be dazzled by 293 all-original op-art designs employing circles, squares, curves, lines, and angles displayed in an incredible show of balance, asymmetry, and geometrical perfection! Use the black-and-white designs as they are or enlarge, reduce, crop, overlay, or repeat them. The uses for the visual illusions in this collection are endless . . . and remarkable!

Most works of art, whether illustrative, musical or literary, are created subject to a set of constraints. In many (but not all) cases, these constraints have a mathematical nature, for example, the geometric transformations governing the canons of J. S. Bach, the various projection systems used in classical painting, the catalog of symmetries found in Islamic art, or the rules concerning poetic structure. This fascinating book describes geometric frameworks underlying this constraint-based creation. The author provides both a development in geometry and a description of how these frameworks fit the creative process within several art practices. He furthermore discusses the perceptual effects derived from the presence of particular geometric characteristics. The book began life as a liberal arts course and it is certainly suitable as a textbook. However, anyone interested in the power and ubiquity of mathematics will enjoy this revealing insight into the relationship between mathematics and the arts.
