observing and drawing nature.\u003cbr\u003e Inspiring illustrations and simple observation exercises combine to teach you how to 'see' with new perspectives.\u003cbr\u003e This book builds on Goethe's holistic approach, which opens the door to new ways of practicing science as an art.\u003cbr\u003e Nature observation and artistic activities complement each other and help us perceive things more deeply.\u003cbr\u003e The book is filled with detailed facts about plants, artistic insights, and beautifully illustrated illustrations of a wide range of plants, from seeds and sprouts to flowers and fruits.\u003cbr\u003e It also functions as a practical guide, with helpful suggestions scattered throughout to encourage readers to practice drawing on their own.\u003cbr\u003e The author also states

usefulness of the book lies in ‘active participation.’\u003cbr\u003e Readers can take the book into nature, observe nature, check it out, and confirm what is described in the book.\u003cbr\u003e This book presents a number of practices and exercises that we hope will spark your creative action and inspire you to devise your own transformational methods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.9\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eGoethe experienced that both art and science arise from or are directed towards the 'primal source of all being' that gave birth to the universe.\u003cbr\u003e He developed a method of observing plants by turning from art to science, or by using art in doing science, and thereby made possible what Kant had declared impossible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Go out for a winter walk and find an oak tree that is fully grown and in good condition.\u003cbr\u003e Choose the direction that best allows you to savor the view.\u003cbr\u003e Although it may be cold, stand for 30-40 minutes and observe closely, then summarize what you see, including the overall appearance, angle of bend, growth pattern, and proportions.\u003cbr\u003e …let’s go home, have a cup of tea, and draw from memory.\u003cbr\u003e Such detailed observational activities can be more easily observed when small groups share what they have done together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.39~40\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt's wonderful to see plants growing strong and robust every day in early summer.\u003cbr\u003e Try drawing a small sprout every day for a certain period of time.\u003cbr\u003e Or observe and draw seeds sprouting during the winter.\u003cbr\u003e …daily or whenever you notice a change, quickly sketch the entire plant and compare it with your previous drawing.\u003cbr\u003e Let your imagination slide into the gaps between the pictures, and, with material expression, up and out,\u003cbr\u003e Let yourself flow with the movement of the plant as it unfolds in a spiral.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.77\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Just as each leaf within a whole plant is an expression, each plant within the whole plant world is an expression.\u003cbr\u003e Likewise, every moment of the year is a moment of the whole cycle of the seasons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.101~102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When you walk in a garden, stroll along a hedge, or cross a summer meadow, you will probably feel like 'talking to the flowers'. \u003cbr\u003eAs we have done so far, we first go to a place where flowers bloom and study their surroundings, growing habits, and each part until we become sufficiently 'familiar' with them, so that we can get to know the flower.\u003cbr\u003e Open your sketchbook and draw quick line drawings of the whole plant and its parts, especially the flowers.\u003cbr\u003e You need to know how the plant grows and how it expresses itself in each season.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We can simplify this journey as follows:\u003cbr\u003e Plants start from dots (seeds) and progress to lines (roots and stems).\u003cbr\u003e The lines spread out into planes (leaves) at rhythmic intervals and become increasingly three-dimensional as they move towards the flowers.\u003cbr\u003e The flower is made up of planes where the lines (petioles) have disappeared.\u003cbr\u003e The flower is simply surrounded by two-dimensional planes, the flower and sepals, making it resemble a three-dimensional solid.\u003cbr\u003e It is in the fruit that the plant acquires a complete, three-dimensional 'body' with everything it needs.\u003cbr\u003e In that central space of darkness, new growth occurs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.159\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhat does still life really mean? Still life depicts life.\u003cbr\u003e It is about drawing a life that is at rest.\u003cbr\u003e The life of nature, constantly changing and developing, is captured for a moment on the artist's canvas.\u003cbr\u003e As in the fruit, so in the still life the natural process has come to an end.\u003cbr\u003e … … Is that so? Isn't life simply a matter of sitting back, restrained, waiting, like tiny seeds within protruding fruits, eager for a new beginning? Isn't \"still life\" the same as \"still alive\"?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- p.162\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \",\"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublisher's Review\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e The seasons in the book begin in late autumn or early winter, around the time of potato digging, and pass through midwinter, spring, and summer, returning to autumn, when the delicious fruits are harvested.\u003cbr\u003e It follows the order of the seasons, but the reading order is not fixed. \u003cbr\u003eYou can read it according to the current season, or you can start from the beginning and then return to the chapter that suits the current season.\u003cbr\u003e One thing is certain: this journey will inspire and inspire us.\u003cbr\u003e “If this book inspires in readers a sense of wonder and active interest in the living world of plants, and a willingness to creatively participate in its growth and development, we will be proud to have planted a seed in them for a new cognitive system—a seed that will grow into a ‘new eye for plants.’”\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \"]\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 8, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 pages | 508g | 181*256*16mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9791168230897 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43891738083370,"sku":"155637","price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/384935f17b8a25f3baf9f18fe283ffb6.jpg?v=1765340433","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/155637","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
