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.

Drawing Definition:

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.
