Picture This: Perception and Composition by Molly Bang
This book is designed to widen the reader's perception of the world through the basic principles of design. In our increasingly visual world, it is vital that we be able to distinguish and identify shapes in space. It begins with the story of Little Red Riding Hood, using triangles and rectangles and circles to tell the tale, and then guides the reader through a basic vocabulary of perception and composition, ending with simple exercises that will inspire the reader's creativity.
