Feature Summary| Progressive Skill Development: Drawing from Observation begins with the fundamentals: holding a drawing tool; positioning oneself and one's work; making sensitive and expressive marks. It introduces intuitive and analytical gesture and builds on this foundation with techniques of gradually increasing complexity. By the end, students have the skills to accurately render anything they see, including irregular forms and objects in one-, two- and three-point perspective.Well Illustrated: Over 500 illustrations demonstrate principles, depict methods, and show results. Additionally, fine art drawings and paintings from a broad historical range complement an inspiring portfolio of student work. Appendix of Activities: A series of assignments, keyed to each chapter, is offered in the back of the book. |
