Charcoal Drawings
This document discusses different types of charcoal including powdered charcoal, compressed charcoal, vine charcoal, and pure charcoal. It also discusses charcoal accessories like kneaded erasers and gum erasers. Elements of art covered include line, contrast, space, form, and techniques for shading and blending. The last section provides instructions for a bone drawing project requiring an off-center composition that makes the bones look 3D using both light and dark areas. Examples of previous eraser drawings are also shown.

- 2. Types of Charcoal •Powdered Charcoal Powdered charcoal is used to: •create tonal values •usually over larger surfaces •easily erases and can be •darkened by adding layers.
- 3. Types of Charcoal •Compressed Charcoal •Powdered with gum binder •round or square sticks •charcoal pencils.
- 4. Types of Charcoal •Vine Charcoal • * Vine charcoal is willow or linden/Tilia twigs burnt into: • soft • medium • hard consistencies
- 5. Types of Charcoal •Pure Charcoal •Very soft •Very dark tones •Very messy!
- 6. Types of Charcoal •White Charcoal – Harder than black charcoal – Different from chalk (makes a harder line)
- 7. Accessories • Kneaded eraser •Gum/Rubber Earser • Tortillons (blending stump) TortillonsKneaded Erasers
- 8. Elements of Art:Line • Continuous mark going in any direction • Lines can show movement, texture, direction, and are expressive

- 12. Element of Art:Contrast • The difference between two things, in this case light and shadow. Extreme contrasts in drawing are called
- 13. • Chiaroscuro an Italianterm that means “light and dark.” In pictorial arts it refers to a gradual transition of values used to achieve the illusion of how light and shadow interact on three-dimensional forms.
- 14. Contrast • Where isthe light source? • Light source is very important in chiaroscuro- creates ‘drama’
- 15. Element of Art:Space
- 16. Element of Art:Space
- 17. Space • We wantto create a dynamic composition- • Having it ‘go off the page’ and making the viewer’s eye move around are much more interesting to look at.
- 18. Element of Art:Form • Form refers to the 3D shape the object shows. • In order to get a 3D form on a 2D surface, you must use shading techniques that trick the eye into seeing an actual form.

- 22. Techniques - using dotsto create value - using lines to create value - using crossed lines to create value
- 23. Bone Drawings • Forthis project, you will have to while drawing. (You are filling in white areas AND dark areas) • You will be drawing bones- and you can make them abstract or recognizable.

- 35. Requirements • Your bonedrawing must be off-center and an interesting composition • You must make it look 3D VIdeo
