WAKE UP TO ARTS

Hello everybody!!! I hope you are doing fine. Now that we have been practicing with the soft pencil, and the black pens, we hare going to start drawing in black and white, taking care of the different shadows and lights. The last work we did was a grey scale, or gradation, and in this new project we are going to use all the things we learnt doing that scale. It would be a really good idea to have the gradation project around, while you work in this new drawing, to check all the different greys you are able to do! Here is the link for the last project we did, the gradation. In case you need to refresh your memory: https://carlosprofedearte.blogspot.com/2020/03/2a-2b2c-eso-light-mandad-trabajos.html This time, you are  not going to do a free drawing. I am going to give you a black and white photo of an animal, and you are going to copy it on a drawing paper , using the material and the technique you find yourself more confortable with. Those would be;  Black pen or ...

Hello everybody! I hope you are all right! Since I imagine everybody has a pencil at home, and probably an egg too, we are going to observe and analyze how the light works in nature, and how we can represent it with a humble pencil. Basically, we are going to do what it is explained in the video. We are going to observe how different kinds of lights iluminate an object ( an egg).   Them, we are going to use a soft-lead pencil to draw all the shadows, and lights. Hopefully , when  the drawing is done  you will have a 3D drawing! Actually, the light is the most important visual element in an image to define the volume of the objects. So, here are the steps: Take an egg and place it on a white sheet of paper. We are going to prepare two kind of l ightings sets : Diffused light. You are going to place your "egg on the paper", mini still- life, next to a window. Them, observe , and draw. Hard-straight direct light. You need to use a lamp to il...

HELLO EVERYBODY!!! We are going to continue with the study of colour by doing a colour -wheel. I have told you about light and how it works. Do you remember? The white light or visible light (the sun light) is an electromagnetic wave. The only kind of wave that we can perceive with our sight . You can see here all the types of elctromagnetic waves there are in the universe, and how,  the visible light, is only that short range in the middle of the spectrum: So let´s say that colour is a quality of light , and that each colour has a wave lenght . The light reflects on the objects, and we are able to perceive the colour of each object, because it only reflects the wave length of the colour the object is. That means that a tomato, for example, only reflects the wave lenght of the colour red. Anyhow, we can study the colour as light, or as a material . Coloured lights, like the ones you are seeing out of your computer right now, or coloured paints, like coloure...
