ABSTRACT

I often speak of angles in drawing. Sometimes I get a blank look. I finally decided to look the word up in the dictionary to hopefully find a definition that would apply to drawing. I didn't get much help, for it stated that an angle is the shape made by two straight lines meeting in a point, or by two plane surfaces meeting at a point. That meaning might apply to an arm bending at the elbow, but in drawing there are numerous angles that do not meet at a point; for instance, a person's legs while sitting or running. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780080928234/9b18bc6f-5304-498a-8de8-fcf2e79382cd/content/figpg171_001_B.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
