Chapter 1 Questions
ReplyDeleteWhat is the advantage of using an easel rather than a drawing table or board when drawing from life?
~When you draw with an easel, the items you are drawing and where you are drawing are both on the same plane.
What part of the body should be used for drawing, especially in the initial stages?
~You should start the drawing with your arm so you can properly measure the items and draw them correctly.
What kind of lamp is best for illuminating your drawing surface?
~A gooseneck lamp or a lamp that you can move around when necessary would be the best so you can direct the angle of the light.
What are the differences between vine charcoal and compressed charcoal?
~Vine charcoal come in thin sticks and are easy to blend and erase and you often use these for smaller shading areas. Compressed charcoal often come in thicker sticks and can be used to make broader lines.
Name three tools you can use to blend or remove charcoal.
~You can use a kneaded eraser, paper stumps, and a chamois cloth to erase and/or blend charcoal.
What designation indicates the softness of a graphite pencil?
~The numbers on the pencil tell you the softness of the pencil. Some examples are 2B/4B/6B - the higher the number, the softer the tones are going to be.
Why is it important to take a break every so often from your drawing session?
~It is important so you don’t become exhausted and/or bored of the drawing. When you become bored, you don’t try as hard as you normally would and the result is the drawing is not living up to it’s full potential.
1) They are on the same plane
ReplyDelete2) arm
3) gooseneck lamp
4) vine-comes in thin sticks and is easy to blend and erase. compressed-loose charcoal that has been pressed into a stick
5) paper stump, kneaded eraser, chamois cloth
6) number of the B
7) to give your mind and eyes a rest
Chapter 1
ReplyDeleteSo that it is easier to see and your arms and hands will be in the right place to draw.
Your arm will be because you are able to see it and there isn't to much to it.
A lamp that is long with a spring, would be best to use for illuminating drawing surfaces.
Vine charcoal is more easy to blend then compressed charcoal.
Your hand, cloth, and paper stumps you can use to blend.
The number B will help indicate the softness of a graphite pencil.
So that you don't get too stressed out and your hand may get sore so it's good to take a break.
It creates 2 dimensional images
ReplyDeleteDraw edges not outlines on objects
The lightest of the dark
Reflected light
Circle, rectangle, triangle, cylinder
Studying everything you see
The space between the point of your drawing tool and your thumb lets you compare the size of a new object with that of the old subject
Where there isn't any objects, awareness of negative space will make your drawing more accurate

Chapter 1
ReplyDeleteThe drawing and the subject are on the same plane so you don't have to move very far to see the other.
The arm for broad strokes in the beginning
One with a long arm and spring so it can be pointed in different directions
Vine comes in a long thin sticks and compressed is loose charcoal compressed into a stick. Compressed is soft.
Kneaded eraser, paper stumps, chamois, fingers
The number of the b on the pencil
So your eyes, body, and mind can get fatigued and taking a break can help this not happen as bad.
Chapter 2 Questions
ReplyDeleteWhat is the effect of including outlines around the shapes of objects you draw?
~You draw outlines to represent edges and define the shape of the objects/object you are drawing.
How can you create the illusion of volume in a two-dimensional drawing?
~You have to add shadows and highlights to the object you are sketching in order to make the sketching pop out.
Which is darker, the lightest tone of the shadow area or the darkest tone in the light area?
~The lightest tone of the shadow is darker
What makes some parts of the shadow areas lighter than other parts?
~It depends on where the lights are being reflected from within the shadowed area
What are the four basic shapes?
~The four basic shapes in a sketch are the spheres, cylinders, cones and cubes.
What should always be the first step in making a drawing?
~You should always draw the basic shaped first and as you get farther into the drawing, add more and more details until you have the item you were wanting to draw in the first place.
How can you use the sighting method to determine the relative size of two objects?
~You use the pencil to get the angles and the size of the objects to be more accurate than rough sketching it
What is negative space and why is it important?
~Negative space is the space between objects in your drawing and it’s important to recognize it so your drawing is accurate in all aspects - including the spacing between all of the objects.
Chapter 3
ReplyDeleteWhat is the best way to see values accurately?
~You have to squint while looking at the object that you are drawing
What is meant by “local color”? Give an example.
~The local color is the actual color of the object. An example is that green is the local color of a lime.
What is the first thing you should do when beginning the tonal stage of drawing?
~You should give all of the objects with a darker local value a flat tone at first to separate the shades of colors.
Give two reasons for blocking in tones early in the drawing process.
~It will start to create the value structure for the entire sketch. It will also eliminate working with large white areas of paper
How is the sphere unique among the basic shapes?
~No matter what angle you look at a sphere, it will always have the same shape, just different shading.
Describe a method for drawing a circle freehand.
~Start by drawing your circle lightly and then go over the outline a few times until it gets closer to looking like a circle instead of an oval
What part of a sphere is closest to the viewer’s eye?
~The center part of the sphere is the closest to the viewer’s eye
What is the shape of the cast shadow of a sphere?
~The shadow shape is called an ellipse; where the height and angle of the light source determines what the shadow will look like.
Squint while looking at the subject
ReplyDeleteThe actual color of an object. Ex: local color of apple is red
Establishing a flat tone for each object that has a dark local value.
Creates value structure for the entire drawing, and eliminates working with large areas of white paper
The only shape that is not affected by eye level
Begin drawing a circle lightly, and then refine your initial shape, going over the outline a couple of times until you get a shape that is round rather than oval.
Center of sphere
Its gradated, not flat

ReplyDeleteWhat are two effects of linear perspective that are important in drawing?
What is the horizon line?
When should you use one-point perspective in drawing a cube?
When should you use two-point perspective in drawing a cube?
What is the difference between one-point and two-point perspective?
What is the best way to determine the angles of the horizontal lines when drawing a cube in perspective?
What is a good way to check the shape of the top of a cube drawn in perspective?
How can you make the edges of a cube appear to come forward toward the viewer?
Converging receding horizontal lines and nearby objects appear larger
When horizontal lines appear to converge
When it’s above or below the horizon line
When a cube is at an angle
The number of vanishing points
Determine if you see more of one side or another by comparison
Plumb lines
Draw it in two point perspective at eye level to give off the effect as if it’s coming straight at the viewer
parallel lines appear to converge and recede to the horizon line and nearby objects appear larger than objects that are farther away.
ReplyDeleteThe line that corresponds to the artists eye level
When the cube is on a flat surface and is seen at only one angle
When you see the cube at an angle and see more sides of the cube than one \
one point perspective is used when you look at an object, straight on rather than from an angle. Two point perspective is when you see the object from an angle
to determine the angles of the horizontal sides of the cube by extending your arm and aligning your drawing instrument along the edge from the front to the back corner
The farther above the cube your eye level is, more of the top of the cube you will see
if you look closely to a cube you can see the reflected light in the shadow areas, that increases the contrast between the light area on the top and the shadow area on the side, further defining the edges to make them look sharp and giving volume to the cube. The frontmost corner of the lefthanded cube, which is the closest to the viewers eyes, it comes forward because of the contrast in values as well as perspective
Chapter 4 Questions
ReplyDeleteWhat are two effects of linear perspective that are important in drawing?
~Two effects are how you see parallel lines converging the “farther” it gets away from you and spatial depth in drawings
What is the horizon line?
~The horizon line is the line going from side to side in the background of the drawing
When should you use one-point perspective in drawing a cube?
~When you are facing a cubed object straight on and not from an angle
When should you use two-point perspective in drawing a cube?
~You should draw using a two-point perspective when drawing a cube from an angle
What is the difference between one-point and two-point perspective?
~The difference is that from the one-point, it is drawn from when facing the cube and the two point is from when drawing at an angle
What is the best way to determine the angles of the horizontal lines when drawing a cube in perspective?
~You have to make sure that all the lines will eventually meet at the same vanishing point
What is a good way to check the shape of the top of a cube drawn in perspective?
~Measure the top plane for comparison to the front plane for proportion
How can you make the edges of a cube appear to come forward toward the viewer?
~You have to contrast the tones; make the dark and light contrast greatly
Chapter 5
ReplyDeleteWhat is the meaning of the term proportion?
~The differences in size among the height, width, and depth
What is the horizon plane?
~It is the space that extends from your feet to your eye level in the distance
How does the horizon plane help to unify your drawing?
~It helps the drawing look more realistic; making the shapes more realistic in how far away they look
How is a rectangular object similar to and different from a cubic object?
~Similar: You have to make sure that the edges look like they are coming towards the artist
~Different: Rectangle is longer on two sides so you have to make sure to make it look rectangular and not a cubic shape
How is shading used to define the squareness of a rectangular object’s edges?
~Like a square, you have to shade one side lighter than the other to make the edges pop out towards the artist
How can you make a cubic or rectangular object appear to sit firmly on its surface?
~You have to make a dark line under the rectangular object and have it blend into the cast shadow behind it

ReplyDeletethe difference in size among the height, width, and depth
it extends outward from your feet to your eye level in the distance
it establishes a single point from which the objects are being viewed
rectangular - with a sphere or a cube you begin by drawing the basic shape in this case a rectangular one - a rectangle like a cube has six sides
cast shadows and highlights?
drawing a dark line helps make the rectangular object sit firmly on the surface

Depending on your view the circle becomes an ellipse
You don't draw it/ straight line
The long part will always be the same shape the only part that changes is the top and bottom
The top and bottom change based on perspective
The ellipses and sides will be narrower
Understand ellipse and linear perspective
Narrower and larger ellipse
ReplyDelete6-
1 - the way the shape of the circle changes as your eye level
2 - a horizontal line
3 - The top and bottom of a cylinder are spheres.
4 - A cylinder has similar sides to a cube.
5 - Linear perspective makes the dies appear to converge toward your eye level.
6 - Draw guide lines.
7 - The degrees correspond to the distance each ellipse is from zero or when viewed at a straight line at eye level to 100, which is a full circle.
7 -
1- Foreground- the area that is close to you, Background- the area that is farthest away, Middleground- in between
2- Size, placement, overlapping, and value contrast
3- The object appears to be farther away
4- Greater range of values
5- Cube, sphere, cylinder, cone
6- begin by drawing a vertical center line guide
7- Determine where your eye level is; eye level far above base of cone will appear rounder
8- Start with a center line guide

ReplyDeleteDefine foreground, middle ground, and background.
Name the four techniques you can use to create the illusion of space.
What is the effect of placing an object higher on the picture plane, closer to your eye level?

Name the four basic shapes.
How can you keep the cones you draw from becoming lopsided?
How can you make a cone appear round?
What can you do to help you draw accurately the ellipse at the base of a cone that’s lying on its side?
The foreground of a composition is the visual plane that appears closest to the viewer, while the background is the plane in a composition perceived furthest from the viewer. The middleground is the visual plane located between both the foreground and background. The scale of these components often correlates to the dominance in an image
Linear perspective, overlapping, size, and detail
Make the object look closer or further from the viewer
An object with higher range of values
circle , square, triangle, rectangle
Draw a circle and use a plumb line from the center straight up and connect the sides of the circle with the middle line
Shade it as you would a cylinder
Determined the size of the ellipse and then make crosshairs to establish where the sides and point of the cone are at.

ReplyDelete1 - is simply the overall arrangement and orientation of the visual elements of your drawing on its two dimensional surface
2 - unity - the viewer must see the whole first and then all the parts
Focal point - to catch your viewer's eye from the very beginning
Visual balance - if your drew an imaginary vertical line down the middle of your drawing to divide it in half, you see something interesting on both sides.
3 - its pleasing to the eye
4 - it's similar to a dotted line, the dark and light accents establish a sort of broken visual bath known as the implied line
5 - contrast, visual balance, and symmetrical and asymmetrical balance and visual weight
6 - if you drew an imaginary line vertical line down the middle of your drawing to divide it in half, and you saw something interesting on both sides
7 - the size, range of values, amount of detail, and placement
8 - in symmetrical balance the objects are arranged so that the imaginary vertical dividing line creates a mirror image with the same arrangement on the other side. In asymmetrical balance has the bull's eye effect in the center, it's predictable and visually static
9 - draw a central guideline

ReplyDelete1- objects with highly polished surfaces such as metal, reflect the objects that surround them
2- the characteristics that create the illusion of a highly reflective surface is that the reflections have distinct, sharp edges
3- because the surface of the pot is like the reflections are disordered like the reflection in a funhouse mirror
The degree of distortion depends on the correlative of the surface.
4- so you can see how the shapes on the surface of the pot make sense when you see what they are reflections of.
5 -flare
6-that it looks labored and loses its effervescence and it is hard to remove the unsuccessful flare
