This document discusses different types of charcoal including powdered charcoal, compressed charcoal, vine charcoal, and pure charcoal. It also discusses charcoal accessories like kneaded erasers and gum erasers. Elements of art covered include line, contrast, space, form, and techniques for shading and blending. The last section provides instructions for a bone drawing project requiring an off-center composition that makes the bones look 3D using both light and dark areas. Examples of previous eraser drawings are also shown.

1. Charcoal Drawings

2. Types of Charcoal
• Powdered Charcoal
Powdered charcoal is used to:
•create tonal values
•usually over larger surfaces
•easily erases and can be
•darkened by adding layers.

3. Types of Charcoal
• Compressed Charcoal
•Powdered with gum binder
•round or square sticks
•charcoal pencils.

4. Types of Charcoal
• Vine Charcoal
• * Vine charcoal is willow or
linden/Tilia twigs burnt into:
• soft
• medium
• hard consistencies

5. Types of Charcoal
• Pure Charcoal
•Very soft
•Very dark tones
•Very messy!

6. Types of Charcoal
• White Charcoal
– Harder than black
charcoal
– Different from chalk
(makes a harder line)

7. Accessories
• Kneaded eraser
• Gum/Rubber Earser
• Tortillons (blending stump)

8. Elements of Art: Line
• Continuous mark
going in any
direction
• Lines can show
movement,
texture, direction,
and are
expressive

9. Line

12. Element of Art: Contrast
• The difference
between two things, in
this case light and
shadow. Extreme
contrasts in drawing
are called

13. • Chiaroscuro
an Italian term that means “light and
dark.” In pictorial arts it refers to a
gradual transition of values used to
achieve the illusion of how light and
shadow interact on three-dimensional
forms.

14. Contrast
• Where is the light
source?
• Light source is very
important in
chiaroscuro- creates
‘drama’

15. Element of Art: Space

16. Element of Art: Space

17. Space
• We want to create a
dynamic composition-
• Having it ‘go off the
page’ and making the
viewer’s eye move
around are much more
interesting to look at.

18. Element of Art: Form
• Form refers to the
3D shape the object
shows.
• In order to get a 3D
form on a 2D
surface, you must
use shading
techniques that
trick the eye into
seeing an actual
form.

19. Form

20. Form

21. Techniques
• Shading/Blending

22. Techniques
- using dots to
create value
- using lines to
create value
- using
crossed lines to create
value

23. Bone Drawings
• For this project, you will have
to
while drawing. (You are filling
in white areas AND dark
areas)
• You will be drawing bones-
and you can make them
abstract or recognizable.

24. Bone Drawings

35. Requirements
• Your bone drawing must be
off-center and an interesting
composition
• You must make it look 3D
