I Love Drawing
🌷🌼🌷
Drawing is therapeutic & it allows me to express my thoughts and feelings
Drawing is used to express one's creativity, and therefore has been
prominent in the world of art. Throughout much of history, drawing was
regarded as the foundation for artistic practice. Initially, artists
used and reused wooden tablets for the production of their drawings.
Following the widespread availability of paper in the 14th century, the
use of drawing in the arts increased. At this point, drawing was
commonly used as a tool for thought and investigation, acting as a study
medium whilst artists were preparing for their final pieces of work. The
Renaissance brought about a great sophistication in drawing techniques,
enabling artists to represent things more realistically than before, and
revealing an interest in geometry and philosophy. The invention of the
first widely available form of photography led to a shift in the
hierarchy of the arts. Photography offered an alternative to drawing as
a method for accurately representing visual phenomena, and traditional
drawing practice was given less emphasis as an essential skill for
artists, particularly so in Western society.
