Drawing Crayons

Famous quotes containing the words drawing and/or crayons:

    Painting dissolves the forms at its command, or tends to; it melts them into color. Drawing, on the other hand, goes about resolving forms, giving edge and essence to things. To see shapes clearly, one outlines them—whether on paper or in the mind. Therefore, Michelangelo, a profoundly cultivated man, called drawing the basis of all knowledge whatsoever.
    Alexander Eliot (b. 1919)

    With crayons the child draws a rigid house
    and a winding pathway. Then the child
    puts in a man with buttons like tears
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
