  7. How Do You Learn To Draw Well? Practice, Practice, Practice

  8. “Sketch subjects quickly. Rough out the arrangement of the limbs of your figures and first attend to the movements appropriate to the mental state of the creatures that make up your picture rather than to the beauty and perfection of their parts.” - Leonardo

  9. “Sketch subjects quickly. Rough out the arrangement of the limbs of your figures and first attend to the movements appropriate to the mental state of the creatures that make up your picture rather than to the beauty and perfection of their parts.” - Leonardo Raphael, Study for the Alba Madonna, c. 1511, red chalk, pen and ink

  13. Drawing Media Different Media, Different Qualities

  14. Dry Media

  15. Raphael, St. Paul Rending His Garment, 1514-1515 Dry Media: Metalpoint – involves the use of a metal stylus applied to paper prepared with powdered bones or lead white and gumwater. Popular in Italy late 15th-early 16th century but rarely used today. linear in character, hatching or crosshatching provide darker values adding white chalk creates highlights

  16. St. Luke drawing with metalpoint on parchment, c. 1435 Rogier Van Der Weyden, St. Luke Drawing the Virgin and Child, c. 1435

  17. Charcoal: smooth, fluid lines and a wide range of values created by smudging encourage chiaroscuro and blending; intensity of color depends upon hardness of stick; dry pastels and charcoal are examples. Kathe Kollwitz, Self-Portrait, Drawing, 1933 Kollwitz exploits the tremendous expressive potential of this medium.

  18. Georgia O’Keeffe, Banana Flower, No. 1, 1933, charcoal and black chalk on paper

  19. Graphite: tonal qualities and line qualities are subtle and based upon pressure of application and hardness of the graphite Jack Nichols, Merchant Ship Leaving at Night, 1943

  20. Vija Celmins, Untitled (Ocean)(Venice, California), 1970 pencil on paper

  21. Willem de Kooning, Seated Woman, 1952 Pastel and Pencil

  22. Pastel on paper Degas preferred pastels because of the immediacy of the and its unfinished quality. Edgar Degas, After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself, 1889-1890

  23. Oil Pastels: similar to chalk pastels, except the binder is oil based making them take longer to dry, but they are less prone to smudging and flaking Beverly Buchanan, Shackworks, 2000

  24. Liquid Media

  25. Pen and Ink: creates varied linear qualities, encouraging expressionist works; modeling is created by hatching and cross-hatching Jean Dubuffet, Corps de Dame, June-December 1950

  26. Ink Wash: provides a wider value range Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, The Adoration of the Virgin and Child, 1735

  37. Printmaking

  38. Gutenberg Bible, 1450-1456, University of Texas at Austin. One of five complete copies in the United States. • Gutenberg Bibles were the first books printed with movable type. • Originating in the West, printmaking was used almost exclusively to illustrate books such as bibles and scientific texts. • Beginning in the 19th century, the art world began to explore printmaking.

  39. WHY???? • To respond to the industrialized where mass production was innovative and new. • Like photography, printmaking allows artists to creatively investigate mechanical modes of reproducing imagery. • Printmaking made art more affordable than unique works like a painting or sculpture. • This technology expanded the artists’ audience and market ($$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!).

  40. Print – a single impression of a multiple edition of impressions, made on paper from the same matrix. Edition – the # of impressions made from a single matrix. Matrix – the master image on the working surface. Terms to Know
