Sketches of Animals as a Method of Mastering the Art of Drawing at Sergey Andriaka Moscow Specialized School of Watercolor and Academy of Watercolor and Fine Arts

Abstract

This article introduces the key elements of original methodology for teaching the art of drawing. The methodology has been successfully tested at the Sergey Andriaka Moscow Specialized School of Watercolor and the Academy of Watercolor and Fine Arts. It is based on a combination of quick sketches of animals and elaborate “long” studies of motionless objects. The method enables students activate and develop their visual memory, quickly grasp the essence, nature and proportions of the depicted objects. The author subdivides assignments into sketches of animals in motion where the task is to render character, sketches of animals where the aim is to reproduce the tone and the color, portrait sketches of animals, images of animals in interaction, color sketches in brush, “longer” sketches. The article recommends copying animalistic sketches of classical artists as a compulsory task when mastering the classical drawing and offers the best choice of art materials.
