Of the plastic arts... "The Drawing "

dartanan (48)in #english • 7 years ago (edited)

From the prehistoric era man has had the need to communicate with each other. The desire to express and show what it says and feels, led the man to "draw " and "paint" to communicate better.

It is known that before the writing was the "drawing ". Illiterates cannot read or write but if they know how to interpret drawings, that is why it is considered one of the universal languages.

A very ancient Chinese sage named Confucius wrote: "A drawing expresses more than a thousand words ". In fact, more expressive is the rose drawn than a verbal expression of the rose.

When prehistoric men painted bison in caves you did so to communicate with animals and thus facilitate hunting. They thought that by drawing it they would catch him. Or when the Romans decorated the rooms of their houses were made by the desire to express what was generally done in the rooms.

It is important to note an artistic drawing of a Venezuelan painter Armando Barrios, who made the drawing of illustration of the poetic book of his wife Reyna Rivas, which is titled "On the Shores of time ", where you can see how the drawing contains the finesse and Harmony of the lines, that is to say, a great harmony in the lines its overall coherence is impeccable, as if it were poems of very worked verses.

In spite of the formal austerity, it is observed and moved to a feeling by the purity and poetry that it contains, making coincide and inspire the contents of the book and is that really with few lines neighborhoods makes this artistic composition so balanced between the space Empty and the drawn by the lines. With a refined technique and leaving most of the blank space, it is noteworthy that Barrios has drawn poetic emissions dampened by tenderness, simplicity and beauty. Transmit what you want to communicate this is art!

The essential elements of artistic drawing are the lines, the shape, the texture that produces the movement, the harmony and composition of the ensemble. You don't get to be a good painter if you're not a good artist first. The mastery of the drawing gives safety and dexterity to the painter and is a requirement to handle the art of the brush. The painters usually draw first sketches, that is, the figurative outline of what will then be the painting: drawing more color The artistic drawing is also used in the decoration in general and also in the publicity.

In Venezuela one of the most common modalities of artistic drawing is the so-called _ "Genre Caricature " _

The caricature consists in the deformation of the image of the people, things or situations to give a certain irony or a funny touch of the message that one wants to communicate.

Very clear is the example of the excellent caricaturists Régulo Paez, Pedro León Zapata and "Ras " (Eduardo Robles).
