HANZI KANJI HANJA
Deeply rooted in Chinese history and adapted widely in various
Asian language systems, modern Han characters are principally pictograms,
phonograms, or compounds of these units. While conventional typefaces and
Chinese calligraphy are still extensively used in daily communication, many
young designers are committed to recreating these age-old logograms,
combining bold graphics with the merits of traditions to let them speak
beyond the original words. With excellent examples from China, Japan,
Singapore, Korea and other locations, HANZI HANJA KANJI reviews the
contemporary craft of Han characters in different cultures. This showcase
includes a variety of published and experimental work, custom-made for
branding and identity campaigns and editorial use.

101 THINGS TO LEARN IN ART SCHOOL-HB
WHITE,KIT&
What is the first thing to learn in art school? &Art can
be anything.& The second thing? &Learn to draw.& With 101
Things to Learn in Art School, artist and teacher Kit White delivers and
develops such lessons, striking an instructive balance between technical
advice and sage concepts. These 101 maxims, meditations, and demonstrations
offer both a toolkit of ideas for the art student and a set of guiding
principles for the artist. Complementing each of the 101 succinct texts is an
equally expressive drawing by the artist, often based on a historical or
contemporary work of art, offering a visual correlative to the written
thought. &Art can be anything& is illustrated by a drawing of
Duchamp' a description of chiaroscuro art is illuminated by
an image &after Caravaggio&; a lesson on time and media is
accompanied by a view of a Jenny H advice about surviving a
critique gains resonance from Piero della Francesca's arrow-pierced Saint
Sebastian. 101 Things to Learn in Art School offers advice about the issues
artists confront across all artistic media, but this is no simple handbook to
making art. It is a guide to understanding art as a description of the world
we live in, and it is a guide to using art as a medium for thought. And so
this book belongs on the reading list of art students, art teachers, and
artists, but it also belongs in the library of everyone who cares about art
as a way of understanding life.
