Correct| Verified Answers
style - ANSWER refers to characteristics of form which are consistent that make a
work identifiable as the product of a particular person, movement, period or place
content - ANSWER the meaning inferred from the form and the subject matter of a visual work
gesture drawing - ANSWER quick, spontaneous, all-encompassing statement of form, scans
the entire subject for essential directional and spatial relationships
linear gesture drawing - ANSWER where linear marks note realtionships
blind gesture drawing - ANSWER only looks at subject while drawing
tonal gesture drawing - ANSWER where broad places of shadows are blocked in to indicate
simplified light and shade patterns on a dramatically-lit subject
continuous movement gesture drawing - ANSWER when working from a slow-moving model,
attempts to records movement through time and space
contour line drawing - ANSWER line drawing which describes the edges of forms
cross-contour line drawing - ANSWER line drawings where lines appear to go across or around
an object to indicate the turn of its form; emphasize 3D structure
, planar analysis drawing - ANSWER line drawings that describe the 3D structure of forms in
which complex curves are generalized into major planar shapes
tonal drawing - ANSWER drawings that emphasize contrasts in tone to describe shape, volume,
texture, space or the effect of light and shadow (hatching, cross-hatching, stippling, continuous
tone drawing, wash drawing)
medium - ANSWER material used by an artist
metal point (dry) - ANSWER ancestor to graphite pencil; drawings are done on ground-
coated surface, corrections made by lightly sanding with fine sandpaper, drawing light and
delicate
graphite (dry) - ANSWER pencil, mechanical, powder
compressed charcoal (dry) - ANSWER charcoal mixed with clay binder
pencils and sticks
harder to erase
better for lines and sharp edges
vine charcoal (dry) - ANSWER burnt willow sticks
thick to thin
good for light to medium tones
good on rough surfaces
chalks and soft pastels - ANSWER pigment with gum tragacanth
available in wide ranges
easily smudged
works on rough surfaces
