Tài liệu Three Families of Lines docx

THREE FAMILIES OF Brenda Hoddinott C-02 DRAW WITH LINES: Lines visually separate and/or define the forms, shapes, and patterns of the various components of a drawing. This lesson illustrates and demonstrates how to identify and draw the three families of lines, straight, angle, and curved, which are the basic building blocks of drawing. Four worksheets offer a total of sixteen fun exercises designed to help you incorporate various combinations of different lines and shapes into drawings. Shapes are the outward contours or outlines of forms or figures. Basic shapes include circles, ovals, squares, and rectangles. You need an HB or 2B pencil, a vinyl eraser, and drawing paper. This project is recommended for artists and aspiring artists of all ages, as well as home schooling, academic and recreational fine art educators. 8 PAGES – 7 ILLUSTRATIONS Published by Hoddinott Fine Art Publishers, Halifax, NS, Canada, Revised 2005 Copyright to all articles, images, text, projects, lessons and exercises within this drawing class belong to Brenda Hoddinott and may not be reproduced or used for any commercial purposes whatsoever without the written permission of Brenda Hoddinott.

Straight, angle, and curved lines are the basic building blocks of drawing. STRAIGHT LINES Straight lines can be thick or thin, long or short, and can be drawn in any direction. The basic types of straight lines include: Vertical lines are straight up and down and at a right angle to a level surface. Horizontal lines are at a right angle to vertical lines, and are parallel to a level surface. Diagonal lines are neither vertical nor horizontal, but rather, slant at various angles. 1) Find examples of each in the next drawing. 2) Practice drawing straight lines (without a ruler) any way you find comfortable. ILLUSTRATION 02-01 ANGLE LINES Angle lines occur when two straight lines meet (or join together), and are used to draw various straight-sided shapes, such as squares, rectangles, and triangles. The sizes of the angles ultimately determine the shapes of the objects you are drawing. 3) Practice drawing various angle lines as in the following drawing.

A compound curve is created when a curved line changes direction (as in the letter S). 4) Examine the different shapes and sizes of curved lines in the next drawing. 5) Draw as many different curved lines as you possibly can. ILLUSTRATION 02-03 FAMILIES OF LINES - WORKSHEETS In the following four worksheets with four exercises on each, you complete a total of sixteen fun lessons designed to help you identify and draw various lines and shapes. Shapes are the outward contours or outlines of forms or figures. Basic shapes include circles, ovals, squares, and rectangles. Before you begin each exercise, take some time to look closely at the lines and shapes in each box while referring to the following: Can you find any straight lines? Are the straight lines vertical, horizontal, or angular? Can you find any places where straight lines meet to form angle lines? Are the spaces inside the angles big or small? Look for curved lines. If lines are curved, in what direction do they curve? Do you see any curved lines that change direction to make compound curves, such as in the letter “S”? Examine the sizes and shapes of the spaces on either side of each line. Study the outlines of shapes, such as circles, ovals, rectangles, triangles, or squares. 6) Find your drawing supplies and get started. You can do your drawings in the spaces provided below each of the following.

My philosophy on teaching art is to focus primarily on the enjoyment aspects while gently introducing the technical and academic. Hence, in creating a passion for the subject matter, the quest for knowledge also becomes enjoyable. >Brenda Hoddinott< Born in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Brenda grew up in the small town of Corner Brook. She developed strong technical competencies with a personal commitment to self directed learning, and the aid of assorted “Learn to Draw” books. During Brenda’s twenty-five year career as a self-educated civilian forensic artist, numerous criminal investigation departments have employed Brenda’s skills, including Royal Canadian Mounted Police and municipal police departments. In 1992, Brenda was honored with a commendation from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and in 1994, she was awarded a Certificate of Membership from “Forensic Artists International”. Her home-based art career included graphic design, and teaching recreational drawing and painting classes. As supervisor of her community’s recreational art department, Brenda hired and trained teachers, and designed curriculum for several children’s art programs. In 1998, Brenda chose to end her eighteen-year career as an art educator in order to devote more time to writing, drawing, painting, and developing her websites. Drawspace http://www.drawspace.com incorporates her unique style and innovative approach to curriculum development.
