Design Drawing and Color Theory - Class 4 - Line & Landscape


Learned about using line to represent proximity (closer lines thicker & darker while further plane lines are lighter and thinner), aerial perspective (distant objects less contrast, less intense, more fuzzy and hazier) and emotion.

Saw a video on Michelangelo and how he used preparatory drawings. http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/online_tours/europe/michelangelos_drawings/michelangelos_drawings.aspx

Did an activity where we used lines to express emotion and another activity where we used lines and no shading to draw a landscape. Here's my landscape. I used all the way from thick marker to pen to pencil to try to represent proximity and aerial perspective. It was fun to do.
