I’ve been thinking a lot about drawing these days, and a lot of it is spent wondering about what to draw (raise your hand if you feel the same way!) So I did what an organized person would do – I made a list. At first I hit 50. Then 80. By the time I was done, I had about a list of 100 things to draw that must be shared (see update below!) So for those who need a little inspiration on what to draw next, you can now download a small PDF of the list I made. (The preview image here is just part of it, but you can see a full preview of the file at the left hand side of the blog.)
Feel free to spread it around and send it to those who needs it! UPDATE: In my haste of putting out the list, there’s some laughable typos and things that are plain wrong! Thanks to all the feedback out there, I’ve launched a new website called 1000 Things to Draw that will blow your mind further! The Elements & Principles of Design Icons. These are handouts that I created for my practicum in visual arts this fall. I had the chance to teach the elements & principles unit for grade 9 and 10 and faced the challenge of trying to make these terms easily accessible for a range of students.
I found that by going though each element and principle with examples from art history, and then applying this in a studio session, the students got the concepts. The problem was then being able to remember them all. I tried these handouts and they worked surprisingly well. I gave out blank versions, and had the students fill out each term and definition as we covered them in class. The important part is the final step, the icon, where I asked students to come up with an icon that mattered to them, and that they felt comfortable drawing.
This way, the terms were reinforced with an immediate visual reference that is more memerorable than a definition- the handouts also work well as a study sheet for the final exam.

La découverte de Lascaux en 1940 a ouvert une nouvelle page dans la connaissance de l’art préhistorique et de nos origines. Œuvre monumentale, la grotte continue de nourrir l’imaginaire collectif et d’émouvoir les nouvelles générations du monde entier. C’est à ce haut lieu de la Préhistoire qu’est dédiée la nouvelle publication multimédia du ministère de la Culture et de la Communication, publication qui réactualise autant la forme que le contenu scientifique de ce site mis en ligne en 1998, à la lumière des dernières avancées de la recherche archéologique. Au delà de l’émotion et à la lumière des recherches les plus récentes, le site internet est destiné à faire comprendre les secrets des artistes qui ont peint et gravé le bestiaire de Lascaux il y a 19000 ans et à présenter les orientations actuelles de la recherche scientifique sur les grottes ornées.

In this step-by-step lesson we are going to create a simple "2 Point Perspective" view drawing of our test subject example, working from both plan (overhead) and elevation view (side view or profile) reference Fig 1. This type of illustration angle is referred to as a "3/4 Perspective" or an "Angular Perspective" view. The green dots in all of the following perspective grid diagrams identify the lines to be drawn as shown in each visual example. The first line to draw will be the horizontal Picture Plane line shown in Fig. 2. We will place the lower right corner of our Plan View diagram on the horizontal Picture Plane line and rotate it clockwise Fig. 3 while keeping it in contact with the picture plane.

Observe also that as we look at the face of the box, it is seen in its true form.

Angular Perspective: Two Points of View. Design A Drawing : Use an Appropriate Format. When you design a drawing or painting, the shape of the surface you work on plays an important role in composition. Once you pick one, all subsequent composition takes place within that particular shape. This shape is called the 'format'. When you consciously choose the format of a work to suit the subject matter, it serves as another element that leads to a successful painting. A painting can take on different looks with each format.
The art formats that artists commonly use include rectangles, squares, circles and ovals. Sometimes you will see free-form shapes as well, but by far the majority of artists use rectangular and square formats. Your goal in coming up with a good composition is to first arrange all the pictorial elements in an interesting manner within your chosen format. When you design a drawing, it is helpful to use a two piece viewfinder to frame your subjects. Like many artists, I have bought ready-made canvases in various standard sizes. Picture Composition : Design Your Painting. An attractive painting is almost always a painting with good picture composition. A well-designed painting or drawing grabs your attention from a distance—even before you can see the details. In comparison, a weak composition is less visually appealing at any range.
Good composition in a painting results in a harmony of shapes, colors, and values. The viewer's eyes stay interested long enough to take it all in, rather than becoming bored and wandering off. Once you have learned how to draw what you see, you need to begin learning how to compose your painting by aligning the various components for best effect. In many cases, you will need to study design and picture composition on your own, because most art classes devote very little time to it. Thankfully, there are a number of time-tested principles you can follow.
Rely on your intuition to guide you as your composition skills improve. The following articles will introduce you to the fundamental principles of composition and design: The Divine Proportion. The Divine Proportion Any objective observation we make must include a discussion of proportion for it is the rule of proportion in the examination of nature that causes us to observe an organized universe and a universe in chaos, rational and irrational numbers, harmony and discord, truth and falsity.
These descriptions are merely proportional effects of the opposition that is inherent in all things. We see harmony expressed by those emotions, feelings, and characteristics present within ourselves. This harmony is viewed within nature as the Divine Proportion. The Divine Proportion ascribed to our collective state of observation has been expressed, "For of three magnitudes, if the greatest (AB) is to the mean (CB) as the mean (CB) is to the least (AC), they therefore all shall be one.
" The Divine Proportion was closely studied by the Greek sculptor, Phidias, and as a result, it took on the name of Phi. Art Teacher Guide Smart-Soft Critique. Empathic Critique Using empathic critique to foster the culture of collaborative discovery in studio art classes Marvin Bartel © 2008, 2012, author bio, author CONTACT, HOME Are you an art teacher that avoids critique sessions? Art teachers tell me that they are skipping the critique because it has been a negative experience.
How much learning are your students missing? Empathic critique is collaboration, not competition. Empathic class critique in studio art is not a debate session. In addition to facilitating art learning, the empathic critique culture helps students rediscover their basic relationship intelligence. A positive empathic questioning critique process can be the way to make every art lesson teach twice as much. Positive empathic critique strategy never says what is wrong, and never makes "better-than-thou" suggestions.
Empathic critique is the search to discover what has happened in the work. BEST PRACTICES Guidelines are needed. Stop before it gets boring. S Guide Art Lesson Plans Page.
