Methods of Representation

Methods of Representing ® Gesture drawing ® Contour drawing (responsive line drawing) ® Perspective drawing ® Hatching / Shading ® Collage ® Sculpture ® Models

Gesture Drawing ®A Gesture drawing is work of art defined by rapid execution. Typical situations involve an artist drawing a series of poses taken by a model in a short amount of time, often a little as 30 seconds, or as long as 2 minutes. ® Volunteer models make various poses ® Capture the gesture of the way the model’s form is positioned and energy is directed ® Focus on time with model rather than being fixated on perfection of drawing

Contour Drawing ® also known as continuous-line drawing, is an artistic technique used in the field of art in which the artist sketches the contour of a subject by drawing continuous lines that result in a drawing that is contorted and or abstracted ® Observe the curves of the body ® Students carefully plan strokes and complete them in a controlled gesture ® Pen never leaves the page and the eyes rarely leave the model

Perspective Drawing ® Drawings of one and two point perspective ® Can be of an object ® Can be both internal or external environments

Hatching / Shading ® Used to describe form and / or light in an object

Hatching / Shading ® Shading markers uses pencil, charcoal and/or

Collage ® Using a lot of various objects to represent an image or representation

Sculpture ® Use new or found material to replicate a form of a real object ® Can include clay, ice, garbage, wire etc.

Models ® Use new or found materials to create a prototype of an object
