How Real is Real: Three-Tone Value Drawing

In the contemporary art world all you hear about is how an art work served as social, political, or cultural criticism. In a children’s drawing class, however, they have only one simple desire, which is to draw the likeness of an object. It amuses the right-brain when the eye is tricked to see a 3-dimensional object “stands” on a 2-dimensional surface. It looks real, they say. But how real is real? After all this is drawing not photography. In the beginning a 3-tone value rendering is sufficient to create the illusion of an object, yes, that looks real.
