Product Overview
From Follett
"Frank Lloyd Wright Collection .";Subtitle from front cover.;"Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation"--Title page verso.;Includes bibliographical references (pages 158-160). "Frank Lloyd Wright looked to nature for inspiration. 'Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you,' he . . . said. It is 'necessary to learn from trees, flowers, shells--objects which contain truths of form following function.' This book takes these lessons to heart, transforming this notion into practical exercises that empower you to create original patterns, designs, drawings, structures, and more. Using items found in nature--such as leaves, insects, seashells--and looking at Wright's own sketches, abstractions, and finished works, this book offers a template for . . . artists and architects to emulate his creative process. Projects such as designing a stained glass window to sketching houses for different habitats, to creating graphics inspired by nature will encourage artists to look at the world in a whole new way. This unique exploration of some of Frank Lloyd Wright's . . . works--and the methodology behind them--is part history, part guided sketch book"--Provided by publisher.
