Research and Reading

Right now I'm reading some art related books to educate myself on varrious things to make myself a better artist and to be able to incorperate ideas or concepts into my work.
I'm reading The Artist's Guide by Jackie Battenfield and I would recommend it to anyone starting out in the arts, it's both enjoyable to read and highly instructive.
I'm also reading Sacred Geometry by Robert Lawlor, I am very interested in sacred geometry and I'm still working to get a better understanding of it and to be able to utilize it more in my work.
Point and Line to Plane by Wassily Kandinsky, this was recommended to me by one of my professors and it's very interesting but quite frankly I'm having a a hard time following it.
Last but not least is Lenoardo da Vinci's Notebooks, it's been very interesting reading this and seeing more of Leonardo's perspective on the world. The subjects covered vary from studies of water to parables to praportions.
