Art Drawings
An art drawing is a visual art form in which various drawing implements, such as pencil, colored pencil, ink, or other mediums are employed to draw upon paper or another two-dimensional medium. Drawings bring beauty, culture, and contemplative content into the environment. They are collected for beauty, to enhance a space, and for the appreciation of their expression.
What subject matter does the collection cover?Since humans first drew upon cave walls, they have sought to leave a means of enhancing their space, of sharing a narrative that communicates emotions, and to surround themselves with images of meaning and beauty. The subject matter here covers a wonderful array of styles, self-expression, and concepts. Here are some samples of the topics covered:
- Abstract
