Overview
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Making use of the senses and the element of emotion, art encompasses the expression through music, literature, film, paintings, and more. Aesthetics as a branch of philosophy deals with the nature of beauty and art, including the appreciation of the disciplines and their relationship with human nature. Aesthetics is, in a phrase, ways of seeing and perceiving the world. Art and aesthetics merge at the visual arts, where the creator or artist interprets an aesthetic which is then decoded by the viewer in individualistic terms unique to each and with critical views towards the original intent or meaning. This book explores the scope of drawing and sketching as an art. Drawing involves the use of a medium or instrument such as graphite pencils, pen and ink, pastels, markers, or even crayons, to draw a two-dimensional piece of art. Included are the many mediums, the techniques such as hatching and stippling, other tools required such as blotting paper and fixative, plus the perspective and artistry of drawing and sketching.
