The creating this drawing, the artist recognized the basic shapes in this figure in order to
Confuse the eye, making it difficult to draw
Record the various parts of the body accurately
Create a change in value
Ignore proportion and record the shape
Record the various parts of the body accurately
Record the various parts of the body accurately.
The correct answer is "Record the various parts of the body accurately."
To recognize the basic shapes in a figure while drawing, the artist is essentially using a technique called "gesture drawing." Gesture drawing involves looking at the subject and identifying the underlying basic shapes or forms, also known as "geometric shapes." These shapes serve as a foundation for capturing the overall structure and proportions of the subject.
By recognizing the basic shapes, such as circles, ovals, rectangles, or triangles, the artist can accurately record the various parts of the body. This technique allows the artist to capture the overall gesture or movement of the subject while accurately representing the relationship between different body parts.
The artist does not use this technique to confuse the eye or make it difficult to draw. Instead, it helps in simplifying the complex subject into manageable shapes for accurate representation. The creation of change in value or ignoring proportion and shape would be separate techniques or artistic decisions made by the artist during the drawing process.
