1 three dimensional quality What is Form in Art? illusion that objects, whether sculpted, drawn, painted or printed are solid, not flat. sense of volume and mass

2 Example of actual form in 3 D art Sculptor: Bruce Armstrong Title: Bete Noir (black beast) Medium: carved wood Date: 2007

3 Example of illusion of form in 2 D art Painter: John Brack Title: Self Portrait Medium: oil on canvas Date: 1955

4 It’s all about light & shade A silhouette looks flat. It seems this shape of the bird could be a cut out sheet of black paper.

5 It’s all about light & shade A drawn object can seem solid......if the artist uses tonal modelling.

6 We see form because of the way light falls on an object.

8 Use shading to create the illusion of form. Artist: Honor Bradbeer Title: Adieu Media: ink on heavy weight paper

9 Create different effects with different media: pencil - cross hatching charcoal – smudging Biro – scribble watercolour – washes conte crayon Textas acrylic paint

10 Shading with pencil Example using 4B and 6 B pencil

11 Shading with pencil Student example from Ken Schwab’s class http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/high/kenshading.htm

12 Layered strokes of coloured pencil Tonal modelling with coloured pencils is another challenge. Shading with coloured pencils

13 A drawing of a cylinder will seem more solid if lines sweep across the shape. Notes that the lines are curved to match the elipses at top and base of the form.

14 Smudging with charcoal Example using charcoal

15 Apply charcoal to paper Use fingers to smudge

16 Draw and smudge with pastels similar feel to charcoal, with a great colour range

17 Build up layers of strokes in different colours of pastel.

18 Pastels are sometimes used for pavement art. This one is a good example of tonal modelling, using colour.

19 Oil Pastels Apply in firm strokes to preserve bright colours. Smudge for smooth tonal graduation. You may find oil pastels are soft and crude compared with dry pastels which are chalky and easier to control.

20 Oil Pastels used over an acrylic paint ground Artist: Louise Bova Title: Kaleidoscope Cat Media: oil pastel and acrylic paint on paper http:// www.behance.net/Gallery/Oil-Pastels-and-Acrylic-on-Paper/108484

21 Use a sharp pencil or biro to cross hatch

22 Cross hatching using biro

23 Artist: Suzanne Bales Title: Deb’s Dog Medium: biro on paper

24 Artist: Suzanne Bales Title 1: Toy Fox Title 2: Mean Fox Medium: biro on paper

25 Using Textas with water Washy effects can be created by applying water with a brush or sponge to water based Textas.

26 Add other media to Textas

27 Coloured pencil over Texta Biro over Texta

28 Using watercolours Watercolours come in tubes, palettes and pencil form. Add water to lighten.

29 Keep pencil lines light Add more water to lighten colour. To darken colour, wait for paper to dry and reapply paint with a soft brush.

30 Great for washy effects! The effect of light comes through transparent watercolour on white paper.

31 Resist watercolour wash over wax or oil pastel

32 Watercolour or ink cannot penetrate where waxy medium has been applied to the paper. Colours of oil pastel do not blend with watercolour. Good for texture and colour contrast.

33 Artist: Martin Hughes Title: Fruit wax and watercolour http://www.martinhughesportfolio.com/work/art/# Wax resist using clear wax instead of oil pastel.

34 Acrylic painting Acrylic paints are like watercolour in that they are water soluble. Unlike watercolour, acrylic paint is an opaque medium. Achieve painterly effects with acrylic paint, without the hassle of waiting for oil paint to dry.

35 Acrylic painting Mix colour with white to create tints (pinks in this case). Mix colour with grey to create tones. Mix colour with black to create shades.
