Psychology & Counseling

Vermilion

The differences between gifted and other children lie in their abilities, but the way gifted children and other people react to their gifts also makes their experience different. About 1980, Joan Freeman compared a group of children aged five to 14, deemed "gifted" by their parents, with two control groups of children, one matched for ability and the other taken at random. This book comprises the results of her follow-up study, ten years later, looking at their progress and the complex pattern of their experiences. It should give valuable psychological insights and points out changes of direction needed in the care and education of gifted young people. It is aimed at teachers, parents, psychologists and the general reader.

Lettering and Calligraphy

The skill of calligraphy and lettering can be adapted to link with many other craft interests. It can play a vital role in poster and book design and even in embroidery projects. This book aims to teach the basic skills and their practice and usage in many forms. Covering the whole field of lettering, calligraphy and illumination, this book ranges from the equipment required, constructional techniques, visual planning and removing mistakes to the intelligent use of colour. It also gives general hints on transferring or enlarging artwork, determining margins and mounting a finished piece of work. The book is produced entirely from the hand-lettered page and illustrated throughout. Joan Freeman's work includes designs for ecclesiastical embroidery, in particular for York Minster, St Albans Abbey and Durham Cathedral. She has designed book jackets and record sleeves and wood engraving illustrations for two Folio Society books, "The Mabinogion" and "The Wandering Scholars".
