It is difficult for most quilters to understand how much a drawing class can help their quilting. In this lecture, I talk about the concepts of drawing and how acquiring some basic knowledge can help all quilters. The concepts I will be discussing are:
• Line
• Negative Space and Positive Shapes
• Light and Shadow
• Perspective
In order for the audience to better understand how these concepts can help them, I will show slides of both traditional and contemporary quilts that illustrate a good use of line, negative spaces, light and shadow or perspective. These quilts are made by a wide variety of quilters from the USA and Europe.
