I. What are the different techniques in Drawing? With meaning.

1. Contour lines
- A contour line is a line that defines a shape or an edge in the realm of art. It is, in essence,
the outline or silhouette of a certain item or figure.

2. Feathering
- Feathering is a pastel application method in which the substance is applied in a linear
pattern. The lines that are drawn may or may not follow the subject's cross outlines,
contributing to the illusion of shape. Feathered lines might overlap, cross across, or be
broad.

3. Loops
- Bending or doubling a line such that it forms a closed or partially open curve inside itself
through which another line may pass or into which a hook can be attached.

4. Dots
- The dot is the most basic drawing element. It is the smallest unit that we can draw. These
dots might be large or little, colored or black and white, thick or thin. They might be drawn
adjacent to or far apart from others. They can also be drawn at such a large size that they
are termed circles.

5. Dotted lines
- A dot can be thought of as the beginning of the components. A dot denotes the beginning
and end of a line. The dot has also been employed by artists in their painting techniques,
such as Pointillism, a painting style invented by the French artist Seurat.

6. Zigzag lines
- Zigzag lines are made up of diagonal lines that are linked at the ends. They have the ability
to communicate both motion and excitement, as well as restlessness and unease.

7. Interwoven textures
- The term 'interwoven' refers to the process of weaving, meshing, or merging several parts.

8. Basketweave patterns
- The Basketweave Stitch design creates a textured fabric that looks like a woven basket by
using basic knits and purls. It's an excellent design for blankets and washcloths, as well as
purses, pillows, and scarves.

9. Wavy lines
- Organic, wavy lines create a mood of peacefulness and are softer on the viewer

10. Scribbling
- A drawing made up of random and abstract lines that is made without ever raising the
drawing instrument from the page
11. Hatching
- Hatching (hachure in French) is an artistic method for creating tonal or shading effects by
drawing (or painting or scribbling) tightly spaced parallel lines. Artists employ the method by
altering the length, angle, closeness, and other characteristics of the lines, most notably in
drawing, linear painting, and engraving.

II. What are the different techniques in acrylic painting? With meaning.

1. Dry brush
- This is self-explanatory simply use a dry brush to add paint to your canvas. If you want a
strongly pigmented stroke of color with rough, scratchy unpolished edges, this approach is
ideal.

2. Washing
- Washing your acrylic colors makes them more transparent. This method is similar to
watercolor, except it is permanent. Simply add a little water to your acrylic paints and play
around with the effects.

3. Stippling
- Stippling is based on a printing method developed by Gulio Campagnola in the early 1500s.
To get this look, dab the head of your brush on your surface in a repeating dabbing motion.
Stippling is a technique for separating color by using individual strokes of pigment. Stippling
is related to pointillism, although pointillism is more exact.

4. Pouring
- This amazing method is simple to use and allows you to make some gorgeous abstract art
pieces. Choose the colors you want to use and mix them individually with a pouring
medium.

5. Splattering
- This approach is all about color, expressiveness, and embracing life's chaos. Wet your brush
in water before dipping it into an acrylic pigment of your choosing before flicking/splattering
your drenched brush onto the canvas.

6. Dabbing
- This may be accomplished using a stiff bristle brush or a paper towel. Light and quick
pressure is used to apply the paint. Dabbing gives your picture movement and is commonly
employed to depict bushes or vegetation.

7. Palette knife
- This method is applicable to both acrylic and oil media. It is accomplished by filling a palette
knife with paint and smearing it on the canvas using the palette knife. This will add a lot of
texture. This method is used by Bob Ross to create magic.
8. Detailing

- Detailing is done with a thin brush that has been mildly wetted so that it retains its sharp
shape. The brush is then used in the same way as a pen or pencil is. This method may be
used to add fine detail to your paintings.

9. Underpainting
- Underpainting, often known as "dead coloring," is used to put down a foundation allowing
the artist to overlay color on top of. It is quite beneficial for establishing contrast and tonal
values. Through unifying, underpainting may be used to generate tonal dominance inside a
painting.

III. 3. What are the different techniques in Sculpture making? With meaning.

1. Curving
- Curving is a subtractive sculpting method in which the artist removes material by chipping
away at it. Carving may be done on a number of surfaces, including wood and stone.

2. Assembling

- Sculptors collect and connect various materials to make a finished sculpture. Assembling is a
process of addition.

3. Modeling
- In sculpture, modeling, usually written modeling, is the handwork of plastic materials to
develop up shape. Modeling is a subtractive process, as opposed to carving, which is a
subtractive process in which pieces of a hard substance are carved away to expose shape.

4. Casting
-  Sculptures that are cast are made from a material that is melted down usually a metal that
is then poured into a mold. The mold is allowed to cool, thereby hardening the metal,
usually bronze. Casting is an additive process.
