Book Star, Branch, Spiral, Fan

• Nature is not only the creator of things as beautiful as sunsets, but it is also the guardian of the universal principles of design. With mathematical perfection, its recurring structures seem to magically adapt as they appear in hundreds of ways: the radial star at the center of snowflakes, fruits and flowers, and the arms of starfish; spirals at the heart of nautilus shells, unfolding plants and swirling storm systems.
• Taking inspiration from the shapes of nature can help you create beautiful works of art and also help you become a better designer. Inspiration is limitless.
• The sections of this sketchbook (Star, Branch, Spiral, and Fan) focus on four of those surprisingly simple design principles and why they work.
• Author and artist Yellena James uses her own nature-based drawings to guide readers to take a close look at each form of design and the places where it occurs. Readers will discover ways to use each shape in their own artwork, realistically, abstractly, or as border motifs and repeating patterns.
