While there is no shortage of publications that provide drawing instruction, this book provides a fresh look at traditional methods as well as adding a number of new approaches. Beginning with a thoughtful essay on why people draw, the authors provide a structured series of drawing projects that explore theories and practice for differing levels of ability. The material is grouped into five distinct content areas: Life Drawing, Landscape, Still Life, Abstraction In object technology, determining the essential characteristics of an object. Abstraction is one of the basic principles of object-oriented design, which allows for creating user-defined data types, known as objects. See object-oriented programming and encapsulation. 1. , and Drawing Systems. Each section presents a balanced series of activities. Life Drawing, for example, begins with a new reading of the ideas presented decades ago by Nicoladies, but goes on with a new means of analysis. The section on abstraction travels from a discussion of Kandinsky and going beyond mere representation to explorations of grids, geometric and organic form, mark-making, unique motivations (drawings based on a scent of perfume perfume, aroma produced by the essential oils of plants and by synthetic aromatics. The burning of incense that accompanied the religious rites of ancient China, Palestine, and Egypt led gradually to the personal use of perfume. , a musical passage, movement) and other points of departure. This book may be used as a self-guided drawing curriculum, or selections from its many projects could be presented to classes or individuals from high school and beyond. The extensive text is accompanied by 600 well-drawn black-and-white illustrations. |
