TOPIC: DRAWING
Content: What is drawing?
Drawing is the use of lines to express an idea on a flat surface (picture plane)
Drawing develops the power of observation automatically and the best model to work from is reality itself (i.e.) real objects.
When drawing the eye of the artist or student focus upon the model and “touch” it’s surfaces.
With this power of observation communicating the information, requires the brain in turn to gives direction to the hand holding the pencil. Through this direct study, the student comes to feel and understand the form and structure of her model and gradually gains the ability to represent the subject in a drawing exercise.
ACTIVITY
