In the pale moonlight | 10 typical perspective errors 3) The Block-In, Part One « Georgetown Atelier Abrieviated steps of this tutorial (click to enlarge) To view a high resolution file of the finished drawing click Here. I like to approach any drawing or painting project in these simple terms: 1) Envision what you want to express and what is most critical to communicate. 2) Work towards that vision, and take advantage of any unexpected discoveries that further it. 3) Solve the problems that are compromising your vision. In constructing a figure drawing, depending on the pose I will use different variations of a technique commonly referred to as a ‘Block-In’.

102: Bus Stop Art, Revisited « Something a week The first time I decorated this empty bus stop schedule frame, I thought it would be taken down pretty immediately. It stayed up, though, for at least a couple months. I knew it would eventually come down, but I was disappointed that it wasn’t replaced with anything. Not a schedule or any other art. That’s pretty much it. I printed it off… and installed it, according to the directions. And, yes. I did enjoy. Like this: Like Loading... THE ART CENTER / Sharing Ideas And Tips From Artist To Artist I original wrote this on a whim but thought I would share it here as well. These are just my thoughts and advice on learning to draw. I'm mainly referring to figure drawing, but it really applies to just drawing in general. The worst part about having tons of papers and books is having to move those tons of papers and books. I just recently moved into a new place and along with me came a giant stack of figure drawings that I've kept in my closet since I started Art Center back in 2005. (this photo is a little older, so it is actually about a foot taller now!) Seeing my drawings from first term was nostalgic, terrifying, and encouraging all at the same time! I've had many discussions with people about whether or not they are improving or what they should do to get better and really there is no secret to it. I thought I would share some things to think about that really helped me improve. shoot for the moon! be honest with yourself! A big thing that stops improvement is plateauing.

Art and Reference point - Further Tutorial Reference Why Beauty Matters | RCL Video Art Why Beauty Matters <p>JavaScript required to play <a hreflang="en" type="video/mp4" href=" Why Beauty Matters</a>.</p> Philosopher Roger Scruton presents a provocative essay on the importance of beauty in the arts and in our lives. In the 20th century, Scruton argues, art, architecture and music turned their backs on beauty, making a cult of ugliness and leading us into a spiritual desert. Using the thoughts of philosophers from Plato to Kant, and by talking to artists Michael Craig-Martin and Alexander Stoddart, Scruton analyses where art went wrong and presents his own impassioned case for restoring beauty to its traditional position at the center of our civilization.
