DRAWI

*Drawing is the process of portraying an object, scene, or

form of decorative or symbolic meaning through lines,
shapes, values, and textures in one or more colors. This
process involves moving a pointed instrument (pencil, etc.
across a smooth surface, connecting lines in order to
create shapes and other objects.
*Drawing is a fundamental activity that is concerned with
visual expression and communication. It contributes much
to learning through the process of intensive looking,
selecting and organising material. It is an immediate and
direct means of making a visual response to the world that
is personal and unique. In drawing we represent in one set
of materials what exists in a different set.
FOUR MAIN CATEGORIES OF
DRAWING
RECORDING – personal statements from first hand observation. In this work
children need to be encouraged to spend as much time looking as drawing
e.g. empty your pencil case on the table – draw what you see.
ANALYSIS – isolating certain elements texture, pattern, etc. and focusing
attention on them e.g. explore particular types of line.
EXPRESSION – personal response to things seen, heard or imaginary events
– poetry, dance, music, etc. can lead to expressive drawing e.g. make a
drawing about your favourite party.
COMMUNICATION – where drawing is used to pass on specific information
to another person e.g. signs, cartoons, maps, plans, etc. e.g. draw a map that
shows the way from your home to the school.
 WHAT IS INVOLVED IN
DRAWING?
Drawing will involves the use of lines, shapes, tones, colours,
textures and patterns
Drawing involves a great deal of exploration and
experimentation
Drawing involves working out and thinking about ideas
Drawing involves lots of discussion with both the teacher and
with other children
Drawing involves looking at and responding to artists’ drawings
STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT
I. Scribbling stage
II.Stage of symbols ( schematic stage )
III.Stage of dawning realism
IV.Stage of realism
QUALITIES OF DRAWING
MATERIALS.
HARD AND POINTED – biros, felt tip pens, HB-2B pencils, handwriting
pens, mapping pens and ink.
SOFT – pencil crayons, oil pastels, wax crayons, graphite sticks, 4B-6B
pencils.
SMUDGY – chalk, chalk pastels, charcoal, charcoal pencils
WET – water soluble colouring pencils and crayons, paints and brushes.

PAPERS – a wide variety of size, shape, colour and texture need to be

explored – also drawing into other materials e.g. clay, polyblock, fabrics, etc.
DIGITAL DRAWING VS.
TRADITIONAL DRAWING
* Digital drawing is so much friendlier to painting.
* The biggest perk of traditional drawing is that it’s not tied to
electricity.
* Traditional drawing is hard for new artists and it takes time.
* Most professional artists can draw with a pencil.
TRADITIONAL DRAWING
 Simply a drawing made in the traditional way.
 Is certainly way harder than digital drawing.
 Some of traditional drawings are used to prepare in digital drawing.
TRADITIONAL DRAWING
MEDIA
 Colored pencil
 Crayon  Pastel
 Human finger  Pen and ink
 Marker  Pencil
 A colored pencil, coloured
pencil or pencil crayon is an art
COLORED PENCIL medium constructed of a
narrow, pigmented core encased
in a wooden cylindrical case.
POTENTIAL OUTPUT USING
COLOURED PENCIL
ADVANTAGES:
* Mistakes are easier to correct due to its lighter color.
* It's easier to get precise.
* Depending on the support, it's quite forgiving.
* It's comparatively cheap to get top notch quality supplies.
* It's not messy or time sensitive.

DISADVANTAGES:
* Coloured pencils have lighter color than other coloring materials.
* Adds time to the drawing process.

A crayon (or wax pastel) is a

stick of
CRAYONS colored wax, charcoal, chalk or
other material used for writing
or drawing.
ADVANTAGES:
* Hand-eye coordination.
* Creativity and self-confidence.
* Color identification and color matching.

DISADVANTAGES:
* Hard to write when it is already colored.
* Hardness of blending exact colors.
* Mistakes/errors and overlapped coloring.
POTENTIAL OUTPUT USING
CRAYON
 Human fingers are used to
HUMAN FINGERS evenly distribute the water
color, paints, oil pastels, etc.
ADVANTAGES:
* Can be easily manipulated
* Brain representation, the somatosensory cortex representation of
the hand is a dynamic reflection of the fingers

DISADVANTAGE:
* Fingertips wrinkling in water
POTENTIAL OUTPUT USING
HUMAN FINGER
 A marker pen, fine liner, marking
pen, felt-tip marker, felt-tip
pen, flow, marker  or sketch pen , is

MARKERS
a pen which has its own ink-source, and a
tip made of porous, pressed fibers such
as felt. A permanent marker consists of a
container (glass, aluminum or plastic) and
a core of an absorbent material. This
filling serves as a carrier for the ink. 
ADVANTAGES:
* Markers are porous pens that can write on surfaces such as glass, plastic,
wood, metal, and stone
* There are a lot of varieties of marker that we can use
* Can be refillable

DISADVANTAGE:
* Its tip is very vulnerable and can easily break if used without care
POTENTIAL OUTPUT USING A
MARKER
 A pastel is an art medium in the form of a
stick, consisting of pure
powdered pigment and a binder. The
pigments used in pastels are the same as

PASTEL those used to produce all colored art

media, including oil paints; the binder is
of a neutral hue and low saturation. The
color effect of pastels is closer to the
natural dry pigments than that of any
other process.
ADVANTAGES:
* It's a quick, closely related to the drawing technique, which allows agility and
spontaneity.
* It brings a vibrant and lively color.
* It can be combined with watercolor, acrylic, oil, collage, and other wet and dry
techniques.
* It allows the additive method: gradually add layers of color on one another.
DISADVANTAGES:
* Usually it paints on paper and this makes the work is fragile and needs to be protected
with glass.
* The color may get dirty when loose powder, so you need to know how to fix it with
fixative or either be very careful not to alter it and not beat it, or wind, nor have moisture
while working. After work, you should always protect the work.
* If too much paint, that is, too many layers are added, the work may be damaged by
excess, being too heavy and opaque.
POTENTIAL OUTPUT USING
PASTEL
PEN AND INK
ADVANTAGES:
* Pen and ink were considered to be as fine line media.
* It could be applied by brush in order to shade an ink drawing.
* Carries a certain evocative power that stems from the cleanliness of the
finished work.

DISADVANTAGES:
* However, that same cleanliness can also leave you vulnerable because high
contrast line drawings give you nowhere to hide.
* Is a type of medium that is hard to be corrected if you were mistaken.
POTENTIAL OUTPUT USING
PEN AND INK
 A long thin object usually made

PENCIL of wood for writing or drawing,

with sharp black or colored
point at one end.
ADVANTAGES:
* Pencils have eraser to erase the errors easily
* No messy paint brushes to clean
* Easy to carry to different location
* Easy to find and purchase
* Best for spontaneous sketching

DISADVANTAGES:
* Needs to be sharpened regularly
* Can be smudged easily and so destroy the drawing
POTENTIAL OUTPUT
USING PENCIL
ELEMENTS IN DRAWING: LINE
Lines are marks that create shape, pattern, texture and
volume on paper. They indicate movement, give direction,
form decoration, divide areas and communicate ideas and
feelings
The following are examples of some drawing activities
that help explore line – activities that explore and
experiment with drawing tools and surfaces
OTHER ELEMENTS
Tone – Use white chalk and charcoal to make light and dark patches on grey
papers – smudge them together – talk about what happens when they meet.
Texture – Make a rubbing of a rough texture – make a drawing next to your
rubbing that matches its texture.
Shape – Draw the outside and the inside shapes of a variety of fruits and
vegetables e.g. lemons and peppers.
Pattern and colour – Create your own patterned coloured borders, to be used
for framing your pieces of writing.
TECHNIQUES
HATCHING
Adds value in a linear fashion
Lines go in a same direction
The closer the lines, the darker the
value. The more space between lines,
the lighter the value
CROSS HATCHING
Almost the same as
hatching but lines cross over
to each other
The more that the lines
crossed, the darker the
value. If less lines crossed,
the lighter the value
RANDOM LINES
Lines go in various
directions
The frequency of the
crossing of the lines
determines its value
STIPPLING
Use of dots to create the
value
The higher concentration of
dots, the darker the value. The
greater the space between dots,
the lighter the value
Time consuming, but allows
artist to have complete control
to application of values
producing highly realistic
results
INK WASH
use of ink and brush
The greater the intensity of the ink, the
darker the value. The lesser it is, the
lighter the value
Value is controlled by the amount of
water added to the ink
