UNIT 13
Lesson 1
When one object moves in front of another, blocking part of the other object from view, it overlaps. One way to achieve balance is to overlap objects and connect the edges as shown on the right.
A CREATIVE EXERCISE USING REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE
Sometimes an artist uses a subject in their work simply because they like it. Many people prefer hanging pictures of food or fruit in their kitchen, or flowers and landscapes in their living room. Some like to hang pictures of people they know on their walls. The next time someone asks your reason for drawing a particular thing, simply say it is because you like it. Ralph Waldo Emerson stated, “Every genuine work of art has as much reason for be ing as the earth and the sun.” We all understand the earth and sun as things we could not live without.
TRY IT: Choose several objects from your room that you are fond of. Arrange them and draw a picture of them.
OBJECTIVE: to use personal preference as a guide for choosing subject matter.
