This week, SEDGE THOMSON interviews guests whose work illuminates through illustration by example.
FERGUS BORDEWICH, the political historian offers some perspective in his account The First Congress: How James Madison, George Washington and a Group of Extraordinary Men Invented the Government. The founders viewed the Constitution as a structure to be modified, ammended, adapted to the time. The idea of Orginalists who interpret every comma of the Constitution would be an anathema to the Founders, as they viewed the government as an ever-changing experiment. Current Broadway star, Alexander Hamilton, taught Americans about Finance!
JOHN MUIR LAWS, artist, naturalist, author and educator renowned for his field guides, here with his latest, The Laws Guide to Nature Drawing and Journaling. He reveals the little known properties of magenta and cyan -- and how, with yellow and black -- can make all your colors in your home printer. His website is a treasure of lessons for drawing and painting. His dyslexia led him to communicate through illustration more than words and correct spelling.
