discussion question

Look carefully at these two drawings.  Describe how each artist utilizes line, shape and mass.  How does the method of drawing function differently for each artist?  Why does the artist create this drawing?   Compare and contrast the two images:  

• Studies for the Libyan Sibyl (recto); Studies for the Libyan Sibyl and a small Sketch for a Seated Figure (verso) by Michelangelo BuonarrotiLinks to an external site.
• Wheat Field by Vincent van GoghLinks to an external site.
