  1. Drawing and Painting Partners in Crime

  2. Drawing • 2 dimensional • Often monochromatic • Linear • Tonal contrasts • Can be in color • A combination of surface and medium can and often does dictate the quality of line and tones in a drawing

  3. Drawing Materials: Dry • Silverpoint • Silver-tipped instrument dragged over a surface that has been coated with a ground bone dust or chalk mixed with gum, water, and pigment

  4. Drawing Materials: Dry • Pencil • Once used lead and now use graphite • Diverse and popular • Contemporary and historical

  5. Drawing Materials: Dry • Charcoal • Similar to pencil in history and range, but simply burnt wood

  6. Drawing Materials: Dry • Chalk and Pastel • Like charcoal, but with a pigment and a binder

  7. Drawing Materials: Dry • Crayon • Conte crayon • Crayola

  8. Drawing Materials: Fluid • Pen and Ink • Quills • Metal nib slipped into a wooden stylus

  9. Drawing Materials: Fluid • Pen and Wash • Brush and Ink • Brush and Wash

  10. Painting • Paint • Powdered pigment mixed with a binding agent or a medium • Binding agents: lime plaster, wax, egg, linseed oil, acrylic plastic, water, and gum arabic • Thinning agents: water and turenpentine

  11. Types of Painting • Fresco • Painting on plaster • Often a mural on walls, but limited to • While wall dries the artist paints and the image becomes permanent • Issues include timing

  12. Types of Painting • Encaustic • Pigment with wax as a binder • Beeswax is the primary wax

  13. Types of Painting • Tempera • Pigments mixed with egg yolk and thinned with water • Not like this anymore • Now pigment is mixed with gums, saps, glues, etc… • Fell out of favor once oil paints came to be widespread

  14. Types of Painting • Oil Paint • Took over as major painting technique due to ability to glaze • Thin layers of paint placed one on top of another to create subtle tones and illusions of depth

  15. Types of Painting • Acrylic Paint • Pigment and plastic binder that can be thinned with water • Many advantages over oil paints

  16. Types of Painting • Watercolor • Fine pigments using water as solvent • Gouache is watercolor mixed with opaque white chalk

  17. Types of Painting • Spray Paint • New and not-so-new

  18. Types of Painting • Mixed media/collage

  19. Traditional Classifications of Drawings • Those that investigate, study, and question the real, visible, tangible world. • Those that record objects and events. • Those that communicate ideas. • Those that are transcriptions from memory – a way of collecting and keeping impressions and ideas, a way of making visible the world of our imagination.

  20. Contemporary Drawing • Has expanded previous classifications • Now drawings are called to “works on paper” • Printmaking, photography, illustration, posters, etc. • This expanded definition does not include mark making, which can be done on any surface • Drawing is a preeminent medium • Economical • Flexible • Open to experimentation • Technologies stretch the boundaries • Some will say a painting is finished and a drawing is never finished… your thoughts?

  21. Contemporary Drawing • Show examples from Vitamin D using projector • William Kentridge: • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45rudITu8Zc&feature=related
