Riassunto:

Incorporating over 400 professional art pieces, student drawings, and illustration throughout, this student-friendly instructional text covers all aspects of drawing from the Renaissance to present day―from basic skills and formal elements to introductory figure drawing and the advanced concepts of contemporary drawing. Teaching students on all drawing levels how to combine their critical thinking skills with intuition and technical knowledge to create a visual language through drawing, it covers key drawing techniques, the function of drawing, and the concepts associated with good drawing. It incorporates an abundance of student examples and drawing exercises in each chapter to reinforce concepts and hone newly acquired skills, and includes historical profiles of artists throughout with discussions on their unique direction, style, and use of drawing.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Drawing as Expression: Techniques and Concepts was written directly to the student in an effort to be user friendly. It covers all aspects of drawing from basic skills and formal elements, to introductory figure drawing and advanced concepts of contemporary drawing. It provides students with information about drawing techniques, the function of drawing, and the concepts associated with good drawing.

There are drawing exercises throughout the chapters that reinforce the concepts and techniques the students are studying. Historical profiles of artists are distributed throughout the chapters that discuss an artist's direction, style, and use of drawing. Examples of student drawing as well as fresh and new images different from the currently available drawing books are used.

Drawing as Expression: Techniques and Concepts is about thinking through drawing, to create a visual language from critical thinking skills, intuition, and technical knowledge.
