Term Details
Term: Drawing
Subcategory: General
Definition: Drawing is the depiction of art elements – such as color, tonal variations, and lines – on a picture plane to create forms and shapes.  Drawing is the foundation from which a picture is created.  In general, drawing is dominated by line, as opposed to painting – which is dominated by mass.
