FOREWORD

The “Graphics” course consists of the 25 illustrated lessons and is meant to give the visual language of artistic graphics to draw from your imagination.

The course is based on the visual semantics – signs, sign variations, correlations of signs, compositions, composition variations. A sign implies a figurative or geometry symbol. Learning to draw signs, how signs are made expressive. Later, studying various combinations of correlations of signs and the way they are used in compositions.

The course is interesting and entertaining thanks to an opportunity to let your thoughts come true using just a gel pen to draw simple black lines, also thanks to being eager to draw in a beautiful stylish quality way. Each lesson includes word tasks that are necessary to illustrate, and also good examples, so all this makes you just move forward, make progress. At the end of the course you will make a portfolio of your best works.

We can represent the reality on the basis of our feelings and imaginations by means of visual graphic signs.

UNIT 1. SIGN

We create a lot of various figurative signs with a beautiful free line. We draw with no sketches so easily. We draw on a white sheet of paper, so nothing could prevent us from reaching our set goals. We pay attention to the quality and plasticity of the line we draw.

We should learn to draw signs as well as we easily say words. We use rhythm and decorative means to make signs more expressive. We develop our imagination, get some skills. The more signs we draw the more interesting this process will get soon. We realize that our sings will eventually become compositions as words become sentences and texts.
