start of the semester quote


"For all drawing depends, primarily, on your power of representing roundness. If you can do that, all the rest is easy and straightforward...For nature is all made up of roundness; not the roundness of perfect globes, but of variously curved surfaces. Boughs are rounded, leaves are rounded, stones are rounded, clouds are rounded, cheeks are rounded, and curls are rounded...The world itself is round, and so is all that is in it, more or less, except human work, which is often very flat indeed."
- John Ruskin, The Elements of Drawing, pp.46-47
