When the ink is dry, rough in your composition by sketching lightly and quickly with a hard pencil (2H or 4H). The purpose of this warm-up activity is to enable you to create a work that is well-composed without appearing "stiff" (by "stiff", I mean lines that lack fluidity and appear tentative rather than having a sense of confidence in how they're applied). While waiting for the ink to dry, use willow or vine charcoal on newsprint to loosen up and experiment with different compositions of the still life. Set the paper aside and allow the ink to dry. More than one coat may be needed to achieve a uniform black surface. Next, use a foam brush to cover your paper with non-permanent black ink (Parker Quink, or Waterman's ink ONLY). Half of the width of the tape should be on the paper half on the board, to create a white boarder around your composition.
#Examples of contour lines in art full
PROCEDURE: fasten a full sheet of medium quality paper (e.g., Fabriano Academia 80 lb.) to your drawing board with one-inch-wide green painter's tape along all the edges. OBJECTIVE: Using ink and a diluted solution of household bleach on paper, create a line-drawing of a still life that I will set up in the middle of the classroom. In this way (using only line), the artist, illustrator or designer is able to create an illusory sense of mass, which displaces an illusory amount of space within any composition. When a set of cross contour lines depict the shape of an object within a theoretical 3D space (its volumetric contours), the volume of the object becomes easier to read. There's a special kind of hatch mark that we must use to create a sense of volume: "cross contour" lines. In all 2D artworks - drawings, paintings, prints and photographs - volumes are IMPLIED (like an implied texture that creates the illusion of a rough surface, but the surface remains smooth to the touch). In a sculpture, volumes are actual 3D forms that displace actual 3D space. This is where the art elements of MASS and SPACE live. Note the many contour (and cross contour) hatch marks in these images of Albrecht Dürer's engraving, Melancholia (click here to learn about, Melancholia, 1514).Ĭross hatching can achieve many more things than a denser area of value: cross hatching can also create a sense of VOLUME (an implied 3D-quality that turns a flat, 2D shape into a form that has depth and appears to occupy an illusory space beyond the picture plane). The denser (closer together) the network of hatch marks that the artist uses, the darker (or lighter in our case) will be the value that she creates. The artist thereby creates a dense network of lines in those places where she wants shadows (or, in our project, lighter values), which modifies the amount of light that the paper reflects from its surface. This technique requires the artist to place lines (both paralell and those that intersect) closer together at various places in the composition. In an etching or an engraving, the artist produces darker values by means of "hatch marks" that are laid down with a technique called, "cross hatching". Some mediums, such as intaglio printmaking (etching), rely almost exclusively on line. With line, you can create an endless variety of shapes, implied textures and even a complete range of values. Of all the art elements (click here to review The Elements of Art), line might be the most versatile. Lines, like music, create potential for mystery." - Linda Saccoccio Theory There is so much potential in losing and finding the line again: like letting go and being awakened. "Lines create an experience beyond the literal. "A line is a visual trail of energy that has been drawn across a surface it is a manifestation of the life-energy of the person who made it." - Mick Malen
It is literally movement and change - life itself." - Lance Esplund It denotes not only boundary, edge or contour, but is an agent for location, energy, and growth. 2D Art Bleached Line, Cross-Hatch / Cross-Contour Drawing Project
