  • Front
  • Back
A still visible remnant or under drawing that indicates a change made between an e earlier stage of drawing and finished composition. (Italian for “Change of mind”).
Pentimenti
A suggested or invisible line. A line whose direction or vector continues beyond where the line stops; line that relies on the viewer to conceptually complete the movement that the line suggests.
Implied Line
The arrangement of elements within a drawing in relationship to each other and the whole.
Composition
Records information directly from our observations
Perceptual Drawing
Stored visual concepts that facilitate recognition of objects but often prevent accurate perception of familiar objects.
Pre-perceptual Drawing
Is quick, all encompassing simultaneous overview of the wholeness of forms and their relationships in space. It is energetic, flexible, spontaneous and feels the ins and outs of the shapes. It is a right brain activity.
Intuitive Gesture
A systematic drawing procedure generally concerned with the structure and the forms essential structural features, executed in an orderly and rational manner. Readjusting diagonal and searching lines to reposition a shape according to its height and width-plotting the forms and shapes. (Directional lines)
Schematic Drawings
To generate countless vertical and horizontal comparisons between two prominent points within your visual field. Use if for measuring and counting distances and shapes within a form. (Left brain activity)
Mondrian Tool and grid
an elliptical or rectangular shape that defines the volume or skeletal structure of that object. Drawing the other side without physically seeing the other side...to create a transparency of the form as if it were glass.
Diagrammatic Drawing
The range of tones from light to dark or from black to white: all the shades of gray in between.
Value
A means by which the artist suggests three-dimensional space and depth in drawing. (One point perspective and 2 pt. Perspective).
Perspective Drawing
A perceptive devise based on the observation that as objects recede in space-light fades, colors dull, and details become obscured.
Atmospheric Perspective
A form that is viewed in such a way that its normal proportions visually appear shortened or compressed.
Foreshortened Perspective
Exaggerating an edge or shape-to draw attention. To embellish an object, add contrast or color to define its character.
Artistic License
In drawing, the representation or illusion of an object's weight, volume, and density.
Mass
The expression of form as occupying 3-D space.
Volume
The space surrounding a positive shape of solid; that which is not occupied or filled with an object.
Negative Space
An object that serves as the subject of the drawing, as distinguished from the background.
Positive
The actual flat surface, or opaque plane, on which a drawing is made. It also refers to the imaginary, transparent “window of nature” that represents the format of a drawing mentally superimposed over real-world subject matter.
Picture Plane
An effective way to represent and organize space in a pictorial work of art.
Overlapping
Objects that are different or similar but maintain or share a common shape that links them as a repetitive visual element.
Motif
Is based on measured repetition of features in a drawing. The more that related elements are stressed, and especially if the accents and visual pace (tempo) are varied, the more pronounced the rhythm will be in a work of art.
Rhythm
An agent that enlivens a work and sustains interest.
Variety
Underlies a work's impact as a complete event. All the principles and elements working together.
Unity
2.When selected lines, tones and shapes are given emphasis in a drawing they will often imply direction.
Movement
