From the beginning of humankind, people have been drawing and painting. Perhaps we can call these early handprints and pictures of hunting scenes "art," or perhaps they were merely a way to tell stories of everyday events. From these early images came the longing for humans to express themselves aesthetically by using their hands and their minds. A unique guide to the world of drawing and painting, this book takes the reader on a journey all over the world to discover the rich culture and traditions in each of the world's continents. From the discovery of making paper by the ancient Chinese to the street-smart graffiti art movements emerging throughout the world, drawing and painting is a vital tool for artists to express their individual voices.
