Art History Lecture w/ Tom Richards - What is Drawing?

[@nelsonferreira-aulasdearte]

15:05 No, Leonardo da Vinci did not use "wood pulp" paper for his drawings. In Leonardo’s time, the paper was made from cotton and linen rags, which provided a durable and high-quality surface for his sketches and studies. This paper, known as rag paper, was handmade and significantly more resilient than wood pulp paper, which wasn’t developed until the 19th century. Wood pulp paper, made from ground wood and chemicals, is more prone to yellowing and deterioration, whereas rag-based paper has a longer lifespan, which is one reason why many of Leonardo’s works have survived to this day. Amazing lecture otherwise.

Drawing is a bidimensional study of the Light coexisting with Volume (mater).

[@seinundzeiten]

drawing is the representational study of matter as light interplays with the surface of multi-faceted planes?

in your website says "Beginning, intermediate and advanced students draw, paint or sculpt..." does this beginner refer to absolutely beginner? Do you accept students with no prior knowledge of the arts?

Drawing is distributing shapes on a surface. The shapes can be anything, mean anything or mean nothing, media is not relevant.
