Drawing Essays

In my major (Photography) drawing is a beneficial tool that can help a photographer in the industry. In the industry a photographer has to be able to express clearly their ideas and their ideas can be illustrated for the other members by drawing. As well to be able to have a clear understanding of form and value can immensely benefit the photograph that is being taken. Drawing 100 has benefited my art greatly because understanding the composition, form/gesture, and value are the most useful aspects

activity. With the activity being so unvarnished, the idea of drawing is not overly complex either. It’s as straightforward as tossing a ball into a basket. Then why am I wasting your valuable time writing this composition? It’s not that I view drawing as a talent, but rather an identity that has become part of my character. I have been drawing fervently since I was four, but I can’t say I was exceedingly good at it then. My drawings were just chaotic scribbles, as if a two year old had taken his

bird-study naturalist paints highly-realistic rendered bird illustrations. (Johnson "Audubon, John James (1785 1851)") “Harper rejected hyper-realistic renderings of wildlife that dominated Audubon volumes and the like. Instead, he chose to create line drawings with bright colors and eye-catching patterns.” (Petrovic 14) There are two illustrations are about owl that one is Charley Harper’s “Owl on the Prowl” (Fig. 1) and another one is John James Audubon’s “Snowy Owl.” (Fig. 2) In the art “Owl on the Prowl

As a child and being the classic little girl, I was automatically drawn to anything with pretty colors. I would always want to play with markers, chalk, paint, or any drawing utensil I could get my hands on. While growing up, this passion of mine grew and matured with me. Although making art is my favorite activity to do in my free time, I often do not enjoy its benefits because it can be difficult. When beginning the creative process I can become stressed if details of a piece do not go the way

How did I choose what to draw when I was young? What about now? Art comes from the inspiration within the artist. It could be anything from the time I went to the fair with my family, to the time I got my license. Inspiration can come from anything that has occurred in the artist’s life. An artists’ inspiration for their art is not always a positive thing, sometimes the inspiration can be very dark and gruesome, which can be seen in the final product. If a person is in a poor mood their inspiration

construct . I asked you if you would like to draw or write down your ideas for what you planned to construct on the paper in front of you. You nodded and then set to work drawing your ideas/plan on the paper. You drew what looked like a complicated “C’ shape with a circle attached down the bottom. I wonder if your drawing was influenced or inspire by the materials on the carpentry table or if this a coincidence. The materials on the carpentry table were round milk bottle lids, nails, and tin

Chuck Close Art Chuck Close is the name of a famous and fantastic artist. He has been drawing for decades, but in the more recent years he has had a different technique for doing so. Well, at least he has ever since his accident. The artist has dyslexia and a condition that makes it hard for him to remember faces, but that doesn’t stop him from drawing portraits anyway. If he had a single most famous painting, it would probably be his big self-portrait, drawn in 1968. He truly is a magnificent

there is enough light and shadow. Many times with colored pencil drawings I would realize the color looks really dull. I would try to think if I used too much black or if I used a pencil in my drawing. Then, I would color it darker with colored pencils and do the critique all over again. Also I would find my drawings or paintings lacking contrast sometimes. Once I did a drawing of a colorful flower with a black and white pencil drawing of sky. I thought I colored the flower enough, but when I looked

initial reaction to this artwork is a feeling of mourn with an explosion of emotions. At first, the artwork serves as a symbol of sorrow, despair, and melancholy.

The despair and troublesome times that the working class went through during war is characterized in this artwork. The mother is sketched in the nude,

of the 12 crayons span between 50 and 96 words per page. The illustrations by Oliver Jeffers carry the story through. Jeffers designed the story to have simple illustrations that are reminiscent of a young child’s own abilities. In fact, these drawings could almost be done by a child. This makes the story more accessible to children

For as long as I can remember, I have always created worlds of my own. All that was required for me to create these universes was a piece of paper and a pencil. As I grew up, I discovered that drawing wasn’t just a hobby of mine, but a solace when I felt the world crumble beneath me. This comfort would only evolve and I would eventually find a new joy in my art that would forever change the way I viewed my work and talent. This realization is what lead me to the decision that being an artist is what

masterpiece they created but by the process. They may not know what they started out drawing but as they continue you can see some forms of shapes or what they wanted to draw and show. Children can use drawing as pretend play. “Dots for example, may be rain falling or animals moving about the page.” (Berk, 1994) “Gestures are used to represent the action.” (Cox, 1992) The opportunity of independency to choose what drawing utensil to use is important for a two year old. It is the sense of autonomy and

When I was in fifth grade I acquired my first set of acrylic paints and ever since then, painting has been a passion of mine that I hope to improve on throughout the years. Coming from a family who excels in math and engineering, I chose a different path to follow and I am so glad that I chose to pursue it, despite being out of place in my family’s “norm”. The creativity and open mind that I have developed from using and practicing this talent has allowed me to gain patience and learn to fix my

artists made Bambi peaked my interest in animation and inspired me so much that my drawing skills really began to develop and grow. I realized that I could create characters and bring them to life, just like the creators of my favorite cartoons. Drawing and character development opened up my eyes to what being creative was all about. Bringing my characters to life was amazing and encouraged me to keep drawing. My kindergarten teacher also told me that a select few people made a

For as long as I can remember, I have always enjoyed drawing. Something about the way I can express myself through visuals has always interested me. As I got older I began to see my life more through art. There is a beginning, middle, and end that I complete freedom to create. Throughout my story I have been able to use my ability as an artist view and better understand my community. In the beginning, my passion for art developed at a young age. By the time I was five, I would come home everyday

Picasso: A Different Kind of Artist After the Renaissance, the style of the art world had become strictly realistic. By the time he was fifteen, Picasso followed this precedent: he painted like a professional who had been painting for his entire life.

He struggled massively

synergistic transformation. If you could introduce my younger self to a profession that could mimic my methods of creating color pencil art while integrating science to benefit others, he’d gladly extend a gesture of gratitude with a complementary drawing. Thankfully, dental school introduced me to such a profession—orthodontics—with the expectation of gaining comprehensive knowledge, sparing me from having to give away any artwork. Among the vast array of knowledge I encountered in dental school,
