A _______________ was a drawing done to scale for the painting of a fresco.

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 ________________________.
dry media and liquid media
One of the most common techniques used in drawing in late-fifteenth- and early–sixteenth-
century Italy was _______________________. This technique requires patience & skill.
metal point
_______________________- 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
—graphite enclosed in a cylinder of soft wood. Not as dark as charcoal,
but more easily accessible.
lead pencil
_____________________is essentially a chalk medium with colored pigment and a nongreasy
binder added to it. Pastels come in sticks the size of an index finger and are labeled soft,
medium, and hard, depending on how much binder is incorporated into the medium—the more
binder, the harder the stick.
pastel
________________________ was a student of Degas who is known for her pictures of mothers and children, her freedom of line, and her mastery of color.

_________________________are oil paint manufactured with enough wax for the paint to be molded into stick form. They allow the painter to draw directly onto a surface without brushes, palettes, paint tubes, or solvents. The density of oilsticks allows the artist more gestural
freedom and a sense of direct engagement with the act of drawing itself.
oilstick
______________________ – 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.
quilpen and ink
When ink is diluted with water and applied by brush in broad, flat areas, the result is called a ______________.
wash
Matisse considered working with ____________ a type of drawing. Taking a sheet of painted paper, he would cut out a shape and carve through the paper as if he was using a knife.
scissors
_____________________________ has used charcoal drawing to create ghostlike images on the walls of an old shack’s plank walls in his Whispers from the Walls.
