Ivar Kangur

Ivar Kangur is an artist, musician, and author. His first book, Songwriting Made Simple, was published in 2014. It distilled his experiences from writing indie songs and film scores into an accessible format for beginning and intermediate songwriters. Ivar's second book, Diorama Design, was published in 2017. It gives an overview of design principles which the diorama artist can leverage to pack more visual punch into their dioramas. Ivar's latest book, Forced Perspective Dioramas, was released in 2020. This book is for modellers and students of art who want to learn to create the illusion of depth and distance in miniature scenes. It begins with the history of forced perspective and its use in various art forms. The book then illustrates the principles of forced perspective and shows how to apply them to dioramas, using case studies ranging from basic to advanced.
