Unit 3- Drawing


Drawing is something everyone does, Even the occasional "doodling" is drawing. The first known drawings were in caves of animals and people. It is known that people then didn’t live in the caves at the time and the drawings were there to tell stories. Drawing is very important in the art world and is basically always used in any art form. When someone is planning out a sculpture they usually draw out what they want to make beforehand. Even when painting, to prepare for a painting sometimes or always an artist will sketch out their ideas on a canvas or the picture they want to paint. Artists will do this because they want to maintain lines and precision in their work. There are many medias to use for drawing such as, silverpoint, pencil, chalk, pastel, ink, and charcoal. Claudio Bravo created a famous charcoal drawing, which resembles a package. In this drawing you can admire how real the package looks, it almost looks like a photograph. I find all her work is amazing capturing the realism in her drawings.
