{"product_id":"drawing-a-tree-by-bruno-munari","title":"'Drawing a Tree' by Bruno Munari","description":"\u003ch4\u003eBruno Munari begins with a rule simple enough to belong to a child: every branch that follows must be thinner than the branch before it.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom there, \u003cem\u003eDrawing a Tree\u003c\/em\u003e becomes a compact lesson in observation, variation and intelligent play. Munari shows how trunks divide, how branches respond to wind and gravity, how the same underlying structure can produce a poplar, a willow, a bare winter tree or something stranger. The point is not botanical accuracy so much as learning how form grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in Italian in 1978, the book sits somewhere between an artist’s manual, a design exercise and a picture book. Munari teaches the reader to notice systems, then disrupt them. Once the principle is understood, obedience becomes beside the point. His spare black-and-green illustrations make structure visible without draining it of life, and the book’s openness means it works equally well for children, artists, designers and anyone trying to recover a less anxious relationship with making. Corraini describes it as part of its \u003cem\u003eWorkshop\u003c\/em\u003e series, designed to bring children, adults, teachers and students into the same practical and imaginative process. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdizioni Corraini, 2005.
