Elementary orders part II

Drawing Impulses

In the last episode I talked about elementary orders. They’re very important for the organization of the drawing or the picture and come with many possibilities to build on it further, because it refines the sensibility for the development of the picture. Where do the elements accumulate and what order results from that? If you think through and practice this exercise of order carefully, you will become more confident in the layout and distribution of the elements in the picture. In nature we can find those orders, too. From every form of nature geometric shapes can be derived, in different ways. In the previous exercise, you’ve already practiced the basic geometric shapes and how they can be distributed in a picture. Now you can deepen this and connect it with shapes of nature.
