using line to make shapes

8/30/2017

 


Yesterday, we made contour drawings - used lines to describe edges to creates shapes to describe a form.

Why did we draw it upside down?


If you can detach your mind from seeing a symbol you can more easily see a shape to draw and get a more visual rich image.

try this - draw a cat--- 

​

​does it look like this? or this?

in order to 'draw' we need to learn hand skills as well as how to look for how to translate 3D visual/emotional/language perceived experience (something that we see) into shapes that can be put down on a 2D plane with lines to create an image of a realistic 3D form that describes space.

Thus -- it is essential to -
1. lean drawing skills
2. ALWAYS work from visual source.

exercise one click here to follow the tutorial

​ 
​
follow the tutorial, make some sketches - then a finished 9X12 drawing that will be due at the beginning of class on Monday.

​- skill - drawing straight lines of definite length with different VALUES
-- note how hard you push determines how dark the line is.
--How you hold your hand, arm, shoulder and body determines how straight the line is as well as how long it is.
