Study Notes
Art Appreciation Lecture 3
- Drawing is a plan for what the artist envisions.
- There are three types of drawing: simple sketches, preparation drawings for larger works, and complete artworks created by drawing.
- Line is a crucial element in drawing.
- Famous artists like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci used effective lines in their works.
- Drawing materials include pencils (with various types and grades), chalk (for varying light and shadow), ink (for combining line and shading), and silver pointed rods (historically used).
Pencil Types
- Graphite pencils
- Propelling pencils
- Mechanical pencils
Pencil Grades
- Pencil grades (e.g., 9B, 2B, 6H) represent varying degrees of hardness and darkness.
Shapes and Shadows
- Shading methods are techniques to create depth and volume.
- Core shadows are the deepest shadows on an object.
- Basic shapes (e.g., spheres, cubes, cones) are fundamental for creating more complex forms.
- Understanding relationships between shapes is vital for illustrating three-dimensional form.
- Positioning objects and understanding eye-level perspectives enhance the realism of artistic representations.
Light Rays and Shadows
- Light rays illuminate objects, creating highlights, midtones, core shadows, and cast shadows.
- Understanding the direction and interplay of light is essential for creating realistic artistic representations.
Painting
- Painting involves applying various colored materials to surfaces to create visual art.
- Essential painting elements include the surface area (square or rectangular), proportion, texture, light, and shadow, as well as dimension and depth.
- Notable painting types include murals (applied on walls and ceilings).
- Within this type, fresco paintings use wet plaster and colors while creating, while tempera paintings utilize pigments mixed with egg or glue on dry surfaces.
