To draw realistic objects, break them down into basic shapes and lines rather than focusing on the overall object. Draw the shapes and lines that make up a set of keys by observing circles, lines, and ridges. Draw each piece of the keys in a grid one section at a time rather than the entire object at once. Turn the picture upside down to see lines and curves rather than the object itself.

3rd gesture drawing lesson
The document provides instructions for a gesture drawing activity. It will include quick timed drawings to capture movement and poses. Students will practice drawing basic human shapes and proportions to depict figures in motion. The goal is to focus on shape over details and use full arm movements with continuous lines to create expressive gesture drawings. Examples of gesture drawings from art history and prehistory are also provided.
Still life composing
This document provides information about still life drawings, including their composition. It defines a still life as a painting or drawing of objects that cannot move, like bottles, bowls, fruit, and flowers arranged on a tabletop. The composition of a still life uses principles of design like pattern, balance, movement, and unity to organize elements. Analyzing a still life involves identifying the overall shape, center of interest which draws the eye, and how the composition moves the eye through the work. Artists often use pyramid formations or contrasting values and colors to emphasize focal points and guide movement.
Gesture Drawing
Gesture drawing is a technique used by artists to quickly sketch the pose and motion of a subject through directional lines and basic shapes before adding detail. It involves observing the subject to understand how different body parts relate and move, then using quick sketches to capture the pose and flow of motion in a few lines and shapes rather than focusing on realistic details. Gesture drawing helps artists train their hands to rapidly translate what they see into basic representations and prepares them for finished works by planning the composition through these quick sketches.
Ppt on gesture drawing
Gesture drawing involves quickly sketching the overall shape and movement of a figure without focusing on details. It should take between 10 seconds to a few minutes. The goals are to focus on shape, use your whole arm, and draw continuously without erasing mistakes. Gesture drawing helps train the brain and hands to quickly capture the essence of a subject in motion.
4 Step Drawing Process
The "Four Step Drawing Process" is proven technique for developing your drawing from beginning sketch to final work.
Gesture drawing
Gesture drawing involves rapidly capturing the form and movement of a model in a short time period (2 minutes or less) through loose lines and shapes. It helps train hand-eye coordination and understanding of proportion and form. The process involves determining the line of action through the spine and adding volume around this line to define the major body sections and joint positions. Artists should practice different styles like continuous line, line and circle, or using a thick brush to find their preferred approach for gesture drawing.
Line animals
This document discusses using line to create value and depict form. It introduces six line techniques to convey value: straight lines, crossing lines, scribbled lines, zig zag lines, and two invented techniques. Readers are instructed to use a variety of these line techniques to draw part of a photo, focusing on accurate shapes, proportions, values, details, and craftsmanship. A pencil sketch should be followed by use of markers to add tonal variety through line thickness.
Basics
The document provides guidance for setting up a drawing composition and drawing basic objects. It advises to plan the arrangement of objects and consider the overall shape they will take on the page. For drawing objects, it recommends starting with basic shapes and measuring proportions either with axes, a pencil, or a grid. The drawing process involves lightly sketching shapes first, then working out perspective and proportions before adding details.

Contour line drawing
The document provides instructions for blind contour line drawing and check-back contour line drawing exercises. For blind contour drawing, the goal is to draw the outline of a subject like one's hand without looking at the paper. Specific instructions are given to move slowly and follow all curves and details of the subject. Several hand positions are listed to practice blind contour drawing. For check-back contour drawing, the instructions are similar but allow looking back and forth between the subject and paper, spending 80% of time looking at the subject.
1 point
Point is the smallest element of art and can have different shapes. A point occupies a small area on a surface while a shape is larger. Groups of points can create sensations of concentration or scattering depending on their arrangement. By resizing and coloring points differently, it is possible to create an illusion of depth and three-dimensional space.
Gesture drawing
Gesture drawing is a quick sketching exercise used to warm up before longer drawing sessions. It focuses on capturing the essential movement and proportions of a subject within short poses ranging from 15 seconds to 3 minutes. The goal is to suggest the entire subject with a few lines that establish the main axes and points of articulation through fluid arm movements while primarily observing the subject rather than focusing on details of the drawing. Gesture drawing helps artists see and record the underlying structure and energy of a pose.
KCC Art 141 Chapter 3 Line
Lines are a basic element of visual art that can be used to define contours, volumes, movement, and patterns. They can have direction, suggest emotion, and create psychological effects. For example, horizontal lines feel calm while diagonal lines feel dynamic. Blind contour drawings involve tracing an object's contours without looking at the paper, in order to focus observation and develop a connection between the hand and brain. Examples are provided.
Intro to Contour
The document provides an agenda and overview for a contour drawing lesson. It begins by reviewing left and right brain thinking, explaining that contour drawing involves outlining the edges of forms without looking at the paper. Examples of contour lines and maps are shown. Students will do blind contour drawings of hands and portraits of each other, tracing the outlines without lifting their pencils and not looking at the paper. The goal is to focus on details and proportions through this exercise.
Proportion/sighting
Proportion involves getting the sizes of objects correct relative to each other in a composition. The document discusses human proportions and provides examples from Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man and Andrea Mantegna's Dead Christ. It also defines foreshortening as rendering an object or figure in depth to show distortions in perspective. Observing proportions in these examples and using techniques like measuring with a pencil, using a viewfinder to divide space into a grid, and focusing on basic shapes can help one accurately draw objects and figures, especially those seen at unusual angles or from a distance.
Contour line drawing
The document discusses contour line drawings and provides instructions for a contour line drawing project of a snarling animal. It defines contour lines as clean, connected outlines that emphasize the shape without shading. Students will first practice contour line drawings of hands, then draw the contour of a snarling animal face brought from a photo. They will then add "wrappings" to show volume and finish it with ink, colored pencil and marker.
Art 326 Hand Drawing Powerpoint Feb 3
The document provides guidance for students on how to draw a foreshortened hand by using a viewfinder and tonal paper. It instructs to frame the hand using the viewfinder, transfer the basic shapes to toned paper, and then add details while observing the actual hand under lighting for highlights and shadows. Continuing to observe details through the entire drawing process is emphasized to create a realistic finished artwork.
1.elements of design
This document discusses the key elements of design that designers use when creating garments, paintings, buildings, or sculptures. It identifies the five main elements as dot, line, shape, color, and texture. Each element is then defined and examples are provided of how they can be used on garments, such as through seams, buttons, embroidery, silhouettes, and different types of prints or fabrics. The document explains that understanding and manipulating these elements enables designers to create various visual effects and works of art.
Negativespace
The document discusses the importance of negative space in drawing. Negative space is the space around and between objects, rather than the objects themselves. Accurately drawing the negative spaces helps capture the form and details of the positive objects. Students are instructed to focus on the negative spaces in order to improve the composition and details of their drawings of a still life subject.
Abstraction through reorganization
This document provides examples and instructions for creating collages by rearranging pieces of photographic images. It explains that collages can be made using a single image by slicing it into geometric shapes and rearranging the pieces. Multiple copies of an image can also be used. The goal is to abstract or disrupt the original image in an interesting way. Students are assigned to create their own collage by rearranging one or two photos and then draw based on their collage.
Assignment: The Figure and Light; Modeling and Value
This document provides instructions for a life drawing assignment asking students to create 2 sketches of a model demonstrating an understanding of value, modeling, and light logic. Students are instructed to tone the paper, sketch guidelines and angles within a "bubble" space, then fill in structural lines and subtract value using different drawing tools to show volume and lighting effects on the figure. The assignment objectives are to demonstrate comfort using different drawing mediums, show progression from general to specific lines, and improve understanding of light logic and how value creates an illusion of mass. Students will be graded based on how well their second drawing meets the objectives compared to their first.
Drawing stage
The document discusses important things to consider when drawing storyboards for animation, including developing character designs through multiple sketches and iterations. It emphasizes testing different facial expressions to display emotions clearly and give personality. Proportions are also important to consider, as well as using reference images and poses. The example character design was informed by experimenting with clothes, body proportions, and inspiration from Pinterest to create a final Disney-style look.
One point perspective
This document provides instructions for creating a one-point perspective park scene drawing. It begins by listing the necessary supplies. It then explains key concepts of one-point perspective like the horizon line, vanishing point, and perspective lines. Students are guided through a step-by-step process to draw trees receding into the distance using one-point perspective techniques. Optional challenge steps add additional objects and textures like a brick path. Assessment questions test understanding of one-point perspective elements. Examples of completed student drawings in different styles and subjects are also provided.
Negative space Drawing
The document provides instructions for a negative space drawing project. Students are asked to draw the unfilled spaces (negative shapes) around objects on a white illustration board using pencil and black sharpie. They must include a variety of large, medium, small, and tiny negative shapes that extend off all four edges of a 2-inch border drawn on the board. Finally, students will fill in the negative shapes with black ink to reveal the positive silhouetted forms. The finished work should have opaque black negative space without visible brush strokes or pencil marks, like the examples provided.
Contour- Intermediate Drawing
The document discusses contour drawing and how line weight is used to define shape, form, and details without using shading. Contour drawings use lines of varying thickness to describe surfaces, shadows, textures, and suggest three-dimensional form. Artists can create darker or lighter lines by pressing harder or softer with the pencil to depict areas that would be in shadow or light.
Intermediate Drawing2010
This document discusses various drawing techniques and concepts, encouraging the development of observational drawing skills while experimenting with materials and mark-making to convey meaning and mood. It highlights examples that demonstrate mastery of fundamental drawing principles like value, perspective and composition, even when incorporating imagination or stylization, showing how a grounding in observation informs successful expressive works.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

"Frontline Battles with DDoS: Best practices and Lessons Learned", Igor Ivaniuk
At this talk we will discuss DDoS protection tools and best practices, discuss network architectures and what AWS has to offer. Also, we will look into one of the largest DDoS attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure that happened in February 2022. We'll see, what techniques helped to keep the web resources available for Ukrainians and how AWS improved DDoS protection for all customers based on Ukraine experience
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

QR Secure: A Hybrid Approach Using Machine Learning and Security Validation Functions to Prevent Interaction with Malicious QR Codes.
Aim of the Study: The goal of this research was to develop a robust hybrid approach for identifying malicious and insecure URLs derived from QR codes, ensuring safe interactions.
This is achieved through:
Machine Learning Model: Predicts the likelihood of a URL being malicious.
Security Validation Functions: Ensures the derived URL has a valid certificate and proper URL format.
This innovative blend of technology aims to enhance cybersecurity measures and protect users from potential threats hidden within QR codes 🖥 🔒
This study was my first introduction to using ML which has shown me the immense potential of ML in creating more secure digital environments!
"$10 thousand per minute of downtime: architecture, queues, streaming and fin...
Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.

Seeing like an artist
- 1. How to begin realistic drawing
- 2. Instead, see lines, curves and shapes. Point out the shapes and lines in this set of keys and write them down.
- 3. Draw these keys using circles, lines and ridges.
- 4. Break it down into a grid and draw piece by piece.
- 6. Turn the picture upside down before you draw so you don’t see the object but instead see lines and curves.
