WEEK 2 - DRAWING EXERCISES

First of all, we learned how to hold the pencil because it is vital to draw shapes and lines. We can visualize pencil as a pigeon. It means that if we hold pencil strictly, our pigeon can die; on the other hand, if we hold pencil so soft that it can fly easily. As you can guess, holding the pencil should be done with average power.

The second thing we did was drawing exercises. The optimum angle between paper and pencil should be 45 degrees. Then, we drew different size of circles, ellipses and squares. In addition, we should use our hand without twisting.

Another thing that deserve some words is that how to perceive our environment. There should be a point of view of our picture, which was exemplified in the renaissance similar to eye figure. Moreover, the existence of horizon line is related to borderline of our percept. Then, we talked about "perspective deformation" providing unity to our perceived surrounding.
