Just as the different fine arts media produce different kinds of images, different drawing
materials produce different effects as well. Drawing materials are generally divided into two
categories—_______________________ and _____
wet; dry
one of the most common techniques used in drawing in late fifteenth century and early sixteenth century italy was __
metalpoint
___________- a descriptive representation of the drawing’s subject through an
outline or contour drawing. Effects of light and shadow are essentially “added” to the finished
drawing by means of hatching
delineation
With the softer media of ________________& _________________, it is much easier to give a
sense of the volumetric—that is, of three-dimensional form—through modulations of light and
dark. They can be either hard or soft, sharpened to so precise a point that they draw like a
pencil, or held on their sides and dragged in large bold gestures across the surface of the paper,
so it can be very expressive. Can be very messy – smudges easily
chalk and charcoal
____________is essentially a chalk medium with colored pigment and a nongreasy
binder added to it. They come in sticks the size of an index finger and are labeled soft, medium,

the harder the stick.

freedom and a sense of direct engagement with the act of drawing itself
oil sticks
___________ – a wet media. Allows greater variation of line and texture. Can be
thickened or thinned. More fluid and expressive than metalpoint or chalk also a faster medium
liquid media
