Preface This book will enlighten you on how to see and explore the power of force through drawing.You will draw with thought and opinions that will strengthen your originality and decisiveness.This will also develop your aware- ness of the stories our bodies communicate,through the actions we perform. The theory of force allows you to see in more abstract terms.Because of this,you can apply it to an unlimited amount of applications.It can be used for drawing.painting,sculpting,animat ion,architecture,graphic design. and all other disciplines of art.It can create a new awareness in your day to day life.How are forces oper ating when you stand,walk,or drive?This book is here for you to understand how to communicate force through drawing,and that is very exciting! "Art does not reproduce the visible:rather,it makes visible." Paul Klee Students who open themselves up to learning are the ones that move ahead quickly.Don't go to a class or buy this book if all you want to do is argue your own principles.Take what you understand and agree with and use it to further yourself.Some of my students will actually argue their habits or limitations. "Argue for your limitations,and sure enough,they're yours." Richard Bach These students move nowhere in their minds for sometimes a month,a semester,or even a whole year.Don't waste your time with bad habits!Seek to understand!If you keep doing what you know now,you will keep get- ting the same results. ix
