Panning a Drawing : More Perspective.

The artist wanted to start his first topic which is planning a drawing , more perspective by giving a brief introduction to still life by giving an overview. The artist began by stating that still life drawing has been around for many centuries as it is the pinnacle point for every renewed artists to broaden our minds. It has been argued that still life drawing originate in sometime in the 16th / 17th century. The artist felt that the reason for this outcome was due to the resources available at the time & the demand for the same medium that created such master pieces .

From artist's interpretation of the third week's task  discovered that he could truly capture the very essence of inanimate objects using a number of arrangements. The artist knew that he had to arrange something that would be appealing to the public eye. Ali's sketch was a success due to the well balanced composition which proved to be quite appealing due to a number of factors. One of the factors that stood out was the Self casted shadows formed by the drapery, the highlights within the objects on the table, etc .

 The artist wishes to start the discussion by talking about forms in still life drawing. The reason behind this was to enable an artist to capture the true essence of a person or a real place using his eyes rather than his imagination . A successful example of a still life drawing would be the Mona Lisa as it is a famous still life drawing by Leonardo Da Vinci.

Throughout the artist's journey he discovered that the key element that all artists try to put across through their works of art is the significance. An artist tries their best to create significance in key areas which are known as focal Areas. For example when we observe the artist's graphite stick study of the table with a jug full of leaves , a pumpkin , two apples.

Everyone may have different focal points as they are influenced by another unknown factor called the implied lines.  For the artist the implied line starts from the jug to the pumpkin , then the small apple , to the apple at the end of the table to the drapery . 

In terms of composition the artist would compare his work to the Mona Lisa as they believe that they have managed to create a well composed work of art using the same basic principles .With more practise he could get to the same stage as the famous artist Leonardo Da Vinci  .
