VOLUME - SHADING

Image
THEORY FOR THE EXAM  (From the Virtualinstructor.com) Shading Techniques for Drawing Techniques used for applying shading to an object are quite varied. Each technique produces a different texture and "feel" to the drawing. The drawing medium used may determine the shading technique that is applied in the drawing. The most common application techniques include: Hatching  - Lines drawn in the same direction. By drawing lines closer together, darker values are created. Leaving more space between lines results in lighter values. For rounded objects, the lines may curve slightly around the form - following the contours of the object. Cross-Hatching  - Lines cross over each other. The density at which the lines cross over each other determines the value that is produced. Blending  - Smooth gradations of value are produced either by adjusting the amount of pressure applied to the medium or by using a blending tool, such a  blending stump . Rendering  - Using an e...

TEXTURE

Image
Texture The visual elements of an image are: POINT, LINE, SHAPE, FORM (SPACE), VALUE, COLOUR AND TEXTURE. During this term we have seen three of these visual elements: Point, Line and Shape. The next visuals elements to see are TEXTURE, COLOUR, VALUE and FORM (SPACE) TEXTURE is a powerful art element because it can quickly evoke memories and emotions.

Nothing will be done without the dots. It’s the most basic thing. •            A dot marks a point which people will look at and concentrate on. •            Dots are used to amplify perception and that does not mean...

PLASTER MASKS

HOW TO MAKE PLASTER MASKS  (From http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Plaster-Mask) 1 Prepare your work area.  Choose a room where you have a lot of space to spread out, since working with plaster can get messy. Lay newspapers or a drop cloth on the floor. Have paper towels handy in case a stray drip lands outside the covered area. 2 Prepare your supplies.  Cut bandage plaster into strips. You will need enough strips to make three layers of plaster over the face. The strips should be about 2-3 inches wide by 3 inches (5-7.5 cm x 7.5 cm) long. Make some strips longer, shorter, wider or thinner. You'll need strips to cover all areas of the face. Place the strips in a bowl. Set out a second bowl filled with warm water that you will use to wet the strips. 3 Prepare your subject.  The person whose face you are using to mold the mask should wear clothing that he or she doesn't mind getting wet with drips of plaster. Decide how much of the subject's face you plan to cover. It...
