Dynamic Symmetry: The Foundation of Masterful Art - Hardcover

Glover, Tavis Leaf: - Master painters kept composition and design techniques a secret because it gave their work vitality and longevity. It allowed them to communicate their visual message with clarity, giving them an edge over other artists. Some painters and photographers know of their secret techniques today, but the majority of artists are stuck with just the basic techniques, like leading lines and the rule of thirds. Tavis Leaf Glover wants to change this. He wants to share the long lost, secret techniques with more artists to help change the future of art. At first, Tavis learned these techniques to apply to his own fine art photography. Yet, he knew that more serious artists deserved to know the same tools as the masters. Tavis started teaching through his blog in 2013, which now has over 530 articles based on composition and design. While this was being written, he created seven helpful videos based on powerful visual perception techniques (Gestalt psychology). He also authored Canon of Design: Mastering Artistic Composition for artists and Photography Composition & Design: A Fun Approach for Serious Artists for street and travel photographers. His new book, Dynamic Symmetry: The Foundation for Masterful Art, digs deep into the ancient geometry that master artists used. It's explained in a way that visual artists can fully understand without knowing advanced mathematics. It also shows excellent examples of how to apply dynamic symmetry in painting, photography, cinematography, and sculpting.
