Outline, line, shadow, light: from handprints in prehistoric caves to creations made on a computer, this book introduces us to the complex world of drawing.
Drawing has allowed people to explore the world in all its facets, in fields such as cartography, botany, architecture, and anatomy. It has evolved over time: the Renaissance discovered the use of foreshortening and perspective, the Age of Enlightenment sought the most objective vision possible, and then came competition from photography and the introduction of computers.
The reader will also find a presentation of the subjects represented: portrait, self-portrait, nude, landscape, still life. He will be able to learn about the techniques: knowing how to distinguish a modello from a study, understanding what a sinopia is, how to transfer a drawing onto a larger support… Each technique has its characteristics, which highlight certain aspects of the drawing: graphite is flexible and precise, charcoal and ink can be intense, red chalk is warm, the pen is particularly clear in its lines, etc.
The work ends with the notion of drawing, a mirror of the soul, which has particularly interested psychologists.
