A Lifetime in Gatlinburg: Martha Cole Whaley Remembers

[audiobook] A Lifetime in Gatlinburg: Martha Cole Whaley Remembers by Marie Maddox in Arts-Photography

Description

Felicien Rops was a Belgian artist who spent most of his life in Paris. He worked in many mediums and was also a master printmaker utilizing various techniques. Rops was originally trained in lithography by the University of Brussels; but went on to produces engravings and etchings as well. He was one of the first modern etchers to revive the neglected medium of soft-ground etching; in which the etching ground is melted into and mixed with tallow; producing the effect of lines drawn with a soft pencil or chalk. He also founded the International Society of Etchers and was for a time the vice president of the Free Society of Fine Arts in Brussels.Many of Ropsrsquo;s etchings are deeply erotic and depict an imaginary underworld or subjects of social decadence. His art is dark and surreal; often mingling life; sex and satanic elements. His style is more often described as Decadent; Symbolist; and a precursor to the Expressionist.

Buy this immediately!By Olaf WeyerEDIT: I have removed one star; because in later chapters i feel now; the book is rather lackluster and doesnt stand out so much from like Syd Fields The Screenwriters Workbook. Thats quiet okay; its still important stuff if you havent read about structure and so on yet; if you have; you might feel a bit bored. Still. The first chapters are so brilliantly honest; true and thought provoking i still highly recommend getting this; THOSE deserve five stars for sure.----I fell in love with this guide instantly for its candid; no-nonsense language and fast paced rapid fire sentences. Books on screenwriting usually always have some kind of filler material - or should i say "bullsh*tting" thrown inbetween; not this one. Like any screenwriting book it teaches you screenwriting (surprise!). But first it will be setting your head straight. If you dont have the mindset of a professional; reading this book will actually do that to you; the language here is that powerful. Some manuals talking about being a professional feel like they need to convince you; this doesnt. Some authors appear arrogant when trying to set your head straight; this here is your buddy.Somehow i feel this is a strange review because i dont speak about how the author handles showing you the craft of screenwriting; the how-to. Well; you can pick up any how-to book on the matter; they are all pretty much the same really only a few really good ones. Thing is; they arent really convincing; if you are critical; they always leave you with a nagging "but" on ths or that matter. Not this one. You know you want to know for yourself; so do yourself a favor and get the sample ebook. There is no question you will hit the buy bottom after youve been intodruced to this great material.Other books i recommend:The Starter Screenplay (making you aware of the "Fringe Industry" the one that lures you into believing it is Hollywood while it is not at all - Screenwriting Contests/Gurus. anyone?)http://www..com/The-Starter-Screenplay-Screenwriting-ebook/dp/B0077DYOJG/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-textie=UTF8qid=1356000456sr=1-1keywords=The+Starter+ScreenplayThe Truth About Writinghttp://www..com/The-Truth-about-Writing-ebook/dp/B004SPER2K/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-textie=UTF8qid=1356000402sr=1-1keywords=the+truth+about+writing("The Perfect Screenplay" can be viewed as a Merger of the three above without of course borrowing from them; it is a STANDOUT book like that; almost(!) making them obsolete)Script: A Writers Guide to the Hollywood Junglehttp://www..com/SCRIPT-WRITERS-HOLLYWOOD-JUNGLE-ebook/dp/B0042X99DU/ref=sr_1_3?s=digital-textie=UTF8qid=1356000779sr=1-3keywords=The+Hollywood+JungleBill Idelons Writing Classhttp://www..com/BILL-IDELSONS-WRITING-CLASS-ebook/dp/B005LKMG4C/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-textie=UTF8qid=1356000865sr=1-1keywords=Bill+IdelsonThe Art Of Plottinghttp://www..com/The-Art-Plotting-Screenplay-ebook/dp/B003FCVG6W/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-textie=UTF8qid=1356000956sr=1-1keywords=The+Art+Of+PlottingScreenwriting From the Hearthttp://www..com/Screenwriting-From-Heart-James-Ryan/dp/0823084191/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=apsie=UTF8qid=1356000996sr=1-1-catcorrkeywords=Screenwriting+From+The+HeartThe Coffee Break Screenwriterhttp://www..com/Coffee-Break-Screenwriter-Writing-ebook/dp/B00564VY8C/ref=sr_1_1_title_1_kin?s=booksie=UTF8qid=1356001036sr=1-1keywords=The+Coffeebreak+ScreenwriterAnd last but not least anything by this guy; published or upcomingWilliam C.

There is a reason they are not on the the list here.However there is a reason that "The Perfect Screenplay" is now at the very top. Funny.

Some good infoBy MarySome great info but a lot of info on life in LA and making contacts. I know this is important; but I really expected more content about writing and polishing. Maybe more samples; good and bad; would have been more beneficial to me.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. No Nonsense Guide to Writing ScreenplaysBy Robert J. DukelowI was hoping for an easy step by step guide to getting my books made into movies. Nothing is easy in this process.
