Una guía práctica para dibujar películas de animación. Muy lejos de ser una práctica en desuso en la era del diseño por ordenador y los retoques digitales, el dibujo sigue siendo una herramienta fundamental de creacion y de critica para el estudio y la practica de la animacion. Con ejemplos que muestran los procesos de creacion a traves del dibujo y el dibujo como vehiculo para llevar a cabo presentaciones comerciales y modelos de adaptacion. Los hermosos ejemplos del trabajo con el que Joanna Quinn ha recibido numerosos galardones nos ayudaran a explorar el dibujo en todas sus facetas: herramienta narrativa, elemento clave en la revision del lenguaje cinematografico tradicional, expresion de los diversos registros de la realidad y el nucleo mismo del personaje. Las obras y experiencias de varios importantes artistas y estudiosos de la animacion, como Peter Parr, Luis Cook, Paul Driessen, Bill Plympton y Frederic Back nos ayudan a entender la importancia del dibujo en sus proyectos creativos, pedagogicos y de comunicacion.

WINNER 2014 Ottawa Book Award for Non-FictionThe definitive portrait of Stephen Harper in power by this countrys most trenchant, influential and surprising political commentator. Oh, he won, but he wont last. Oh, he may win again but he wont get a majority. Oh, his trick bag is emptying fast, the ads are backfiring, the people are onto him, and soon his own party will turn on him. And let me tell you, it couldnt happen to a nicer guy . . .Despite a constant barrage of outrage and disbelief from his detractors, Stephen Harper is on his way to becoming one of Canadas most significant prime ministers. He has already been in power longer than Lester B. Pearson and John Diefenbaker. By 2015, and the end of this majority term, hell have caught up to Brian Mulroney. No matter the ups and downs, the triumphs and the self-inflicted wounds, Harper has been moving to build the Canada he wantsthe Canada a significant proportion of Canadian voters want or they wouldnt have elected him three times. As Wells writes, He could not win elections without widespread support in the land. . . . Which suggests that Harper has what every successful federal leader has needed to survive over a long stretch of time: a superior understanding of Canada.In The Longer Im Prime Minister, Paul Wells explores just what Harpers understanding of Canada is, and who he speaks for in the national conversation. He explains Harper not only to Harper supporters but also to readers who cant believe he is still Canadas prime minister. In this authoritative, engaging and sometimes deeply critical account of the man, Paul Wells also brings us an illuminating portrait of Canadian democracy: glorious, a little dented, and free.
