Project #1: DRAWING is...

What is Drawing? According to Webster's dictionary, drawing is defined as “the art or technique of representing an object or outlining a figure, plan, or sketch by means of lines." This, of course, is usually the first thing many people think of when it comes to drawing, I was and still am one of them. Yet, after really contemplating the word drawing and looking through various definitions, I’ve come to find that it's meaning isn’t art specific, it engulfs a lot of different positions. Drawing isn’t just about the line one puts on paper, it’s about what you take from that line. Minimalist artist Sol LeWitt once said, “When words such as painting and sculpture are used, they connote a whole tradition, thus placing limitations on the artist who could be reluctant to make art that goes beyond the limitations."

Paul Cezanne . Egon Schiele . Marlene Dumas .

His work eventually lead the way towards the begininnings of breaking up space into smaller parts and cubes. Egon Scheile Austrian 1980 - 1918 Schiele was a a protégé of Gustav Klimt. Schiele was a major figurative painter of the early 20th century.

The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings mark the artist as an early exponent of Experessionist art. He died at the age of 28 of the flu.

Elements of Visual Design

The elements and principles of design are the foundational building blocks used to create a visual work. The elements of design are the A, B, C's that are put together by any artist or designer to create an image or object. The grammar of how these elements are used create the overall visual work. Good or bad, all visual works will contain most of these elements, if not all, the nine elements of design. The principles of design can be thought of as what we do to the elements of design. Go to the page on Principles of Design for more information. How we manipulate the elements and principles of design, or, how we employ them, creates an impression that an audience will then interpret . These are the artist and designers writing tools of how they express an idea, if you will. How we apply the principles of design determines how successful we are in creating a work of art that delivers an idea the maker intended. THE ELEMENTS
