Grid drawing is a very old technique of transferring images (from sketches to a full size canvas or fresco, etc...)
Always make sure that the number of squares on the original picture and your working area are exactly the same (even if the size of the squares are bigger on the paper). This is because no matter how many times bigger (or smaller) you make the drawing, the proportions and dimensions can only stay the same if the number of boxes (squares) matches exactly.
Make sure you follow all steps below.
2.3.2 The Van Eycks and Rogier van der Weyden
1.1 Unit 1-Overview
Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, painted circa 1503, is one of the most famous paintings in the world. It's "art," all right, but why?
Prehistoric cave paintings in France, Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Jackson Pollock's paint-splattered canvases, and a 3-year-old's crayon scribbles all reflect one simple but remarkable impulse: the desire to create.
But what is art?
Are random paint splatters or finger paint on a wall "art"? What makes someone an artist? Who has the final say on what is or isn't "art"?
There is no right answer to any of these questions. Everyone has to come up with his or her own opinions. The more actively you ask these questions and think about the answers, the more you will be able to understand and appreciate art.
It's also important to keep in mind that no matter what the era or who the artist, the impulse to create comes from each artist's desire to communicate something. Always keep in mind that each piece of art has a message for you, the viewer.
This course is a survey of art history. But before that survey can start, you need some language to help you think about and talk about art. Get ready to learn the lingo of the art world.
Broad Strokes: Principles of Painting
Have you ever wondered how an artist made a landscape look as if it actually disappeared on the horizon? Or how a painting of a person could look so lifelike? Once you learn certain principles about perspective, depth perception, and tint and shade, you'll know how it's done
Knowing the basics of painting will help you think about, talk about, and appreciate the artwork you see later on.
