Tune in on Monday, October 5th at 4:00 p.m. for a demonstration of drawing techniques that explores the relationship between form, light, and perspective. Learn simple techniques to create three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface by sketching and defining drawing techniques.
In fine art, the term “drawing” may be defined as the linear realization of visual objects, concepts, emotions, and fantasies, including symbols and even abstract forms. Drawing is a graphic art which is characterized by an emphasis on form or shape, rather than mass and color as in painting. Drawing is quite different from graphic printmaking processes, because although a drawing may form the basis for replication, it is by its very nature, unique.
