The Skills of Hatching

Drawing by Ronnie Rayner Larter

Almost all my drawings over the past years have been drawn and toned by smudging graphite pencil. On this course however, we are taught not to smudge graphite, but instead use hatching and cross-hatching techniques when using pencil, which I have tried. Although some of my earlier drawings of simple basic objects were reasonably successful…

Strange Art

Article by Andrew Campbell

Art is something that we all enjoy. In some cases, art leaves an audience wondering just what was on the artist’s mind when they created their masterpiece. Today we will look at weird art that has kept people wondering through the years.

Art is Worth the Long Walk

My name is Nicholas Beck, I’m 19 years old, and I’m studying studio art at a liberal arts college.

From an early age, art has always coincided with some writing, and I find that much of what I do on my own time (outside the classroom) was always been connected to something written…
