DESIGN FOR ARTISTS AND CRAFTSMEN, L. Wolchonok. The most thorough course ever prepared 

 on the creation of art motifs and designs. It teaches you to create your own designs out of 

 things around you — from geometric patterns, plants, birds, animals, humans, landscapes, 

 and man-made objects. It leads you step by step through the creation of more than 1300 

 designs, and shows you how to create design that is fresh, well-founded, and original. Mr. 

 Wolchonok, whose text is used by scores of art schools, shows you how the same idea can 

 be developed into many different forms, ranging from near representationalism to the most 

 advanced forms of abstraction. The material in this book is entirely new, and combines full 

 awareness of traditional design with the work of such men as Miro, Leger, Picasso, Moore, and 

 others. 113 detailed exercises, with instruction hints, diagrams, and details to enable you to 

 apply Wolchonok's methods to your own work. "A great contribution to the field of design 

 and crafts," N. Y. SOCIETY OF CRAFTSMEN. More than 1300 illustrations, xv + 207pp.

 18th century masters of English roundhand as Dove, Champion, Bland, and 20 others. They
