From the time of cavemen drawing has been not only a way of communication but also a form of expression. It wasn't until paper became readily available in Europe in the 1400's that the masters of drawing such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelangelo set the standard for great artists. Since that time not only have many more people become masters but the forms with which we draw have changed and evolved as well. New canvases such as computers and software have opened a whole new realm of art that was not available even 30 years ago. The way we look at art has even changed and evolved. Forms of abstract art that are argued by some to not be art at all hold as much value as a clearly drawn person.
This series will focus on the basics of drawing still life and the steps to get through it. Our expert will walk you through every aspect including the materials, where to get them, the steps of the drawing itself and even how to preserve your valuable art. Take a look at this series and get the tools to become a master yourself!
Pete Bellessis My name is Pete Bellessis. I am an art teacher from Indiana. My earliest influence in art was my mother, Dr. Martyna Bellessis, who was my public elementary school art teacher from grades K - 4. I grew up in Bloomington, Indiana, a very arts-friendly town, helped no doubt by the university there, Indiana University. I graduated from Indiana University in 2001. I have taught in every type of school environment; from rural to urban, private to public, and wealthy tax base to poor. I love teaching students about art, but more importantly, helping them to find the artists within themselves as they are introduced to unfamiliar or new media. I love studying the history of art and how it has helped define our sense of world history from the earliest records known to man. We're all artists if we create something we deem beautiful to our own eyes for 'Art' is always subjective. Finally, it is important to remember that criticism can be healthy if its intention is positive towards the artist's growth.dkdk
