Lines are everywhere. You can see lines in the grain of a piece of wood or in the cracks on a sidewalk.

Lines are used to:
-
Create boundaries between shapes
-
Create boundaries between colors, textures or values
-
Lead the eye from one space to another
-
Create textures
-
Suggest emotional qualities

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.

How to Critique
How to Critique
Painting is the art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic. —Henry Louis Mencken
Some people argue that the most important factor in determining the monetary value of an artwork is what the critics have said about the art or the artist. That's a pretty powerful position.
Of course, you don't have to get paid to have an opinion. As the famous saying goes, "Everyone's a critic." But to be a real art critic, you have to know what kinds of questions to ask and answer. These questions will help you form your own judgments on a piece of art.


Soon you will be critiquing art using many of the same criteria that the professionals use. Knowing how to look at art critically will help you evaluate each piece you study on a much deeper level.
Your days of saying, "I like it" or "I hate it" about a piece of art without knowing why are behind you.
