When I first wrote this there was nothing online about this method of drawing that I could easily find, and I thought it would be useful to write up what I was taught to try and help other artists since this method is integral to my work.<br /><br />Overall I hope it helps out other artists and doesn't make art historians wince too much.Allison Dollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350563439869317219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613916.post-68922408857741817842010-12-04T12:01:38.251-06:002010-12-04T12:01:38.251-06:00From my point of view, Giacometti doesn't real...From my point of view, Giacometti doesn't really make much use of a grid like that which you refer. Such method is found more deeply used in authors like TapiƩs, for examples. Giacometti reacts to the positioning of elements in space by tracing lines that don't just measure in 2d, but in the actual perspective and spacial definition of things. Like the lines touch objects and have a direction (or multiple in space), so it's a more diagramatic, schematic and caligrafic aproach to the use of line. Rather then just pure and simple measurement of the scale relationships formed. He's more interesested in the interplay of volumes and shapes in space then he is on the relative disposition of things in the retinal image (flat image).zecahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05219122584614937035noreply@blogger.com
