This richly illustrated volume provides an architectural history of the central section of the Roman Forum during the Empire (31 BCE–476 CE); from the Temple of Julius Caesar to the monuments on the slope of the Capitoline hill. Bringing together state-of-the-art technology in architectural illustration and the expertise of a prominent Roman archaeologist; this book offers a unique reconstruction of the Forum; providing architectural history; a summary of each buildings excavation and research; scaled digital plans; elevations; and reconstructed aerial images that not only shed light on the Forums history but vividly bring it to life. With this book; scholars; students; architects and artists will be able to visualize for the first time since antiquity the character; design and appearance of the famous heart of ancient Rome.

And I am happy I did.....its everything and more! I like the style of the book with personal bits offered by both authors; the detail and user-friendly instructions; the honesty about what works and what doesnt; art projects incorporating photos and mixed media stuff; and the photographs are standouts for me. I am familiar with Photoshop; but for those that are not; the instructions (along with photos of what youll be looking at on your computer) are easy to follow. This book is a MUST HAVE and Im so please to own my very own copy!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Photo Craft: Creative Mixed Media and Digital Approaches to Transforming Your PhotographsBy Karen DiwanI love this book! Christy and Susan are two extremely creative women who share everything from the basics of photography and digital photo editing to how to use your photos to create beautiful art. The chapter on composition really helped me to focus on framing my photos with an eye toward balance and looking up instead of straight at the subject being photographed. Chapter 4 is all about Timeless Photographic Techniques and how to apply them. Liberally sprinkled throughout this book are beautiful photographs taken and altered by both Christy and Susan and gorgeous mixed media art techniques that are stepped out and very easy to understand and execute. This book is a must have for anyone who needs a go-to reference for photography; editing and how to use your photos in mixed media art.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. PhotocraftBy Elayne KoenigsbergI recently received Photocraft - creative mixed-media and digital approaches to transforming your photographs by Susan Tuttle and Christy Hydeck....I havent had time to do any of the projects yet but the book is yummy. It has really easy instruction to use Photoshop Elements and that makes me really happy because I can get lost quickly when photo editing. I also love that there are many contributions by several of my favorite artists. I adore mixed media art and photography and know this book will add lots of techniques to my goody bag of tricks...cant wait to experiment....good job girls!!!
