Differentiate Drawing, Painting, Print-Making, and Imaging

1. Differentiate Drawing, Painting, Print-making, and Imaging.
DRAWING –
Drawing is the simplest and most efficient way to convey visual concepts. It is the art or
technique of producing images on a surface, usually paper, by means of marks—
commonly ink, graphite, chalk, charcoal, or crayon. Drawing as formal artistic creation might be
defined as the primarily linear rendition of objects in the visible world, as well as of concepts,
thoughts, attitudes, emotions, and fantasies given visual form, of symbols and even of abstract
forms. Moreover, these are often executed in a single color, but it’s not unusual for colored
pencil drawings to utilize a wide range of colors.
There are two types of drawing media: dry and wet. Dry Media includes charcoal, graphite,
chalks and pastels. From thin lines to large areas of color and tone, each of these mediums
allows the artist a wide range of mark-making skills and effects. The illustrator can alter a
drawing in a variety of methods, such as applying different pressures to the medium against the
drawing's surface, or using erasing, blotting, or rubbing in order to generate desired effects. On
the other hand, wet media can be divided into three categories: ink, washes, and self-contained
tools such as fountain pens. All of these materials, unlike the dry media, are very permanent
and erasing is nearly impossible. This fact causes some changes in the approach to the
drawing, because decisions often have to be made before putting the brush to paper.
There are many uses for drawing. Drawing is a form of communication that preceded writing
and that continues to serve as another form of communication. "Drawings can do amazing
things. They can tell stories, educate, inspire, reveal, entertain, and inform. They can describe
appearances, offer commentary, convey drama, and relate history. Arrangements of line and
mark can speak of things visible, imaginary, and even invisible." Furthermore, from concept to
completion, drawings are the mainstay of all things designed by humans, from the things we
view onstage or in theaters, to the objects and buildings of the actual world in which we live.
The drawing process, itself, is meditative, enriching, and edifying. When you are drawing
something you become absorbed in the process of drawing, and come to know your subject
through truly seeing it.
PAINTING
Painting is the application of pigments to a support surface that establishes an image, design or
decoration. In art, the term painting describes both the act (using either a brush or other
implement, such as palette knife, sponge, or airbrush to apply the paint) and the result of the
action – the painting as an object. Paintings are created with pigment in liquid form, such as
paint, or dry form, like pastels.
Painting media are very versatile since they may be used on a variety of surfaces (called
supports), such as paper, wood, canvas, plaster, clay, lacquer, and concrete. Because paint is
commonly applied as a liquid or semi-liquid, it has the potential to soak into porous support
material, weakening and damaging them over time. To avoid this, a support is usually first
coated with a “ground”—which is a mixture of binder and chalk that, when dry, forms a
nonporous layer between the support and the painted surface. Gesso is an example of a
common ground.
There are six major painting media, each with specific individual characteristics: Encaustic,
Tempera, Fresco, Oil, Acrylic, and Watercolor. All of them use the following three basic
ingredients: (1) Pigment, (2) Binder, (3) Solvent.
PRINT-MAKING
Printmaking is an artistic practice that involves transferring images from a matrix to a different
surface, most commonly paper or fabric. The multiple images are printed in an edition, with
each print signed and numbered by the artist. Traditional printmaking techniques include
woodcut, etching, engraving, and lithography, while modern artists have expanded available
techniques to include screen-printing.
A matrix, which can be made of wood, metal, or glass, is basically a template. The design is
made by working with tools or chemicals on its flat surface. After that, the matrix is inked to
transfer it to the chosen surface. Printing from a matrix requires the use of controlled pressure,
which is usually accomplished by employing a printing press. This creates an even impression
of the design when it is printed onto the paper or fabric. However, more modern printmaking
techniques, such as screen-printing, do not require a press. Going back, the resulting print is
often the mirror image of the original design on the matrix. One of the great benefits of
printmaking (save for monotype) is that multiple impressions of the same design can be printed
from a single matrix.
There are three basic techniques of printmaking: relief, intaglio and planar.

IMAGING
uses cameras containing arrays of electronic photodetectors to produce images focused by

a lens, as opposed to an exposure on photographic film. The captured images are digitized and
stored as a computer file ready for further digital processing, viewing, electronic publishing,
or digital printing.
Until the advent of such technology, photographs were made by exposing light
sensitive photographic film and paper, which was processed in liquid chemical solutions to
develop and stabilize the image. Digital photographs are typically created solely by computer-
based photoelectric and mechanical techniques, without wet bath chemical processing
