Drawing

Ever since I could pick up a crayon I have been creating art. I colored on anything I could get my hands on, and was always adding more color everywhere I possibly could. My love for painting blossomed my Junior year of high school when I took an oil painting class and fell in love. I knew from the very first day that I had found what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I have been blessed with such a beautiful gift and I plan on using it everyday for the rest of my days. I plan on attending…

For my project, I chose to answer the question: “Can a balance exist in the separation of church and state?” Each of the drawings I chose to create in order to answer the question are quite similar, but both vary in different ways. The Hillsboro drawing depicts a balance scale with each side of the balance holding a different item. The left side of the balance depicts a nondescript government building, which is seated on a fairly large container that is filled with quotes from the book. These…

short two-minute film called The Enchanted Drawing from the year 1900. It was not entirely animated as it included live action footage, but it was the first movie with animated sequences as far as I am aware. It consists of a man (in live-action) drawing a picture of a man's face on an easel, as well as other objects, such as a cigar and a glass of wine. He takes the drawings off the paper and they turn into real items. Also, the man in the drawing magically changes his facial expressions…

I would like to lead with. Drawings will appear more elegant with soft and exploratory lines. Using a variety of hard and soft lines is necessary in order to provide suitable detail, foreground and shadows among other essential aspects. A multi-layered approach requires me to layer colors in order to produce greater depth of color and range of tones. Color can be blocked in effectively by my application of pencil strokes in the same direction. I can prepare my drawing surface of choice by…

The other by Liam Gillick, Farm Form Firm Forum, 2014. Both pieces share visual similarities. They both use strong, defined straight lines and symmetrical shapes.

Drawing is often considered a gift, but the ability to illustrate high-quality representations is only attainable through diligent practices. Various amounts of methods are used throughout this process of art. It is important to utilize these techniques when performing the steps. They help sharpen the ability to visually express the motive in the drawing. Kenneth Perrone, an art student from Portland, Oregon, clarifies a broad yet simple concept of what the meaning behind art is, “...Art is any…

I’d been drawing for almost all my life, so when I took Drawing 1 during my freshman year, I certainly surprised my teacher; Mrs. Seashore was used to kids taking that class because they thought it was an easy way to avoid work for an hour. Don’t get me wrong, I surprised myself as well. I had never really taken art seriously until then; but when I realized that I had a talent and an eager audience of my teachers and peers, I ran with it. I recall doing my first ever portrait drawing in this…

to come to terms with get raped and her rapist. “I try to draw a branch coming out of a tree truck for the 315 time. It looks so flat, a cheap, cruddy drawing. I have no idea how to make it come alive.” (55) Her art project isn't going so well. Melinda is starting to talk to her lab partner. They are communicating through notes.

Why are Whitefield Lovell’s drawing in Whisper from the walls presented to the viewer on a wall, rather than on paper??? He wanted it to look more real. Whitefield had plank wall salvaged from abandoned building around Denton, Texas so he could draw life size figures based on actual photograph of Texas African Americans especially from the 1920’s. Due to the medium in the drawing being fragile, it gave a ghostlike presence, eerie sense of the past. Why are Whitfield Lovell and William…

Interviewer: So, you did the kinetic drawing. Interviewee: Uh-huh. Interviewer: Now I am going to ask you three questions about your drawing.
