A New Perspective ? Universal Edition Book

Conventionally, perspective deals with creating a three-dimensional appearance on a two-dimensional surface.

But by building the subject up from scratch through twenty years of extensive research, A New Perspective - Universal Edition contains breakthroughs which now completely redefine what perspective is and how it really works.

Its majority consists of material never available in perspective before with answers only hinted at over the centuries. This is the subject of perspective taken 500 years out of the past and pushed 1,000 years into the future.

At the same time, its material is all laid out in a clear and gradual fashion.

And because perspective was developed primarily for drawing and painting, hundreds of years before anyone ever heard of something as routine today as a photograph, it should be no surprise that no one had fully developed this firmly established subject to include the many art forms which have arisen over the past few decades alone, including photography and filmmaking.

Part One: Basic Theory
Very little of the information within this section is covered in perspective materials. Yet, these are some of the most important fundamentals upon which perspective is based.

Part Two: Advanced Theory
This part contains a great many new discoveries from the causes and behaviors of three-dimensional form to specific distortion characteristics.

Part Three: Technical Theory
Here we learn basic theory as it relates to the application of perspective in a variety of different art forms. But regardless of your particular field, each chapter should contain something you can apply.

Part Four: Conventional Theory
For those who studied perspective drawing before and found it hard, here you find out why. This takes a frank and honest look at the subject, correcting and updating dozens of flaws, omissions and basic misconceptions perpetuated for centuries.

Part Five: Drawing Theory
This is basically where all other books on perspective start. This section contains more drawing instruction than most other books, including some newly discovered techniques, but provides explanations as to exactly why each technique works. This is something often disregarded or misunderstood in other texts.
