Dynamic Symmetry: The Foundation of Masterful Art
Serious visual artists can now easily understand and apply the secret geometry that masters used to create remarkable art. Superior mathematical skills aren’t required because there are hundreds of excellent step-by-step diagrams to explain everything with simplicity. Learn how the ancient and modern masters used dynamic symmetry to promote unity, movement, rhythm, and strength. These qualities, along with many others, allowed their art to have visual clarity, impact, and stand the test of time. This is an essential book for painters, photographers, sculptors, and cinematographers that hold composition and design with a high priority. For far too long, artists have been stuck with the basic tools of artistic composition, like the rule of thirds and leading lines. Unfortunately, we’re incapable of reaching the master level if all we know are the basics. Powerful tools like dynamic symmetry and other composition techniques have been kept a secret from all of us. It’s time to learn of them, push past any plateau that stands in our way, and finally unlock our true potential!

dynamic symmetry made easier
About 1/2 through book. Have been using this principle in my paintings. It does get complex but he has a nice way of explaining the subject. I’ve been using a very simplified or basic structure but see how I can take my armatures further. He works out the math for you. Slow read but packed with step by step instruction through the math. Since using dynamic symmetry I feel my composition has become stronger. I recommend this as a way to help improve your paintings structure. Traditional or Contemporary styles both benefit from this.
