ADAMSARTEXPOSE’<br />
REPORTER: Adam<br />
Artists today have a sketchbook that<br />
was not even a thought 50 years ago.<br />
The smartphone camera provides an<br />
unlimited immediate opportunity to<br />
capture any subject for reference. <strong>This</strong><br />
was also a possibility with the invention<br />
of the camera in the 1800s. The camera<br />
had various detriments for saving<br />
subjects initially, size, limited lighting,<br />
transference of a captured photo, and<br />
the procedure for processing a photo<br />
after being taken was among them.<br />
The smartphone camera allows for<br />
instant viewing and transfers for artists<br />
today but, Artists still use sketchbooks<br />
for more personal interpretation of<br />
subjects but also have the option of a<br />
smartphone photo to back it up.<br />

THE SMARTPHONE AND THE SKETCHBOOK A HISTORY OF<br />
VISUAL DEVELOPMENT<br />
Historically the sketchbook provided for for artists to use the pages in their<br />
a lasting impression of a scene or any sketchbooks were utilized on both sides<br />

Renaissance artists who has a legacy<br />
of over 7,000 sketchbook pages filled<br />
with everything from studies for larger<br />
paintings, diagrams of flying machines,<br />
to architectural and anatomical<br />
drawings. These demonstrated the<br />
broad field of his genius and the variety<br />
of his interests and skills. The drawing of<br />
the “Vetruvian Man” demonstrated his<br />
interest in human anatomy as well as<br />
his scientific interests in mathematics<br />
and physics as this drawing shows the<br />
perfect man fitting in a circle and a<br />
square Rembrandt was also known to<br />
be constantly drawing and planning<br />
which we see in the masterpieces of his<br />
finished work today. The Renaissance<br />
artist Michaelangelo si widely known for<br />
in various parts of the painting as in<br />
the sketch of the body of adam Two<br />
centuries later. Rodin the French sculptor<br />
who is famous for his many sculptures<br />
primarily in bronze also did numerous<br />
sketches as studies for the sculptures as<br />
in the one for the “Thinker”.<br />
Architects known for the art of designing<br />
buildings are also known for keeping<br />
sketchbooks of their ideas Albert Frey,<br />
the Swiss architect settled in <strong>Palm</strong><br />
his drawings paintings and sculptures.<br />
His painting of the “Creation of Adam”<br />
on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel<br />
in Rome was preceded by numerous<br />
sketch studies of the anatomy of figures<br />

<strong>Springs</strong> after establishing his reputation<br />
as a modernist designer in New York. His<br />
architectural designs are among the<br />
most influential designs in <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Springs</strong><br />
architecture. A drawing of his exterior<br />
plan for the house now called the Frey<br />
House which was his personal home in<br />
<strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> is shown here.<br />
Technology through the smartphone<br />
has provided new methods for artists to<br />
save visuals for reference however, the<br />
traditional sketchbook drawings provide<br />
the opportunity for the artist to develop<br />
his or her drawing skills and to increase<br />
their power of observation that provides<br />
them the opportunity to show their<br />
individual style and creativity. Douglas<br />
Simonson, who is extensively known for his<br />
drawings of the male physique works with<br />
pencil and colored pencil to capture the<br />
anatomical movement of his models as<br />
in this sketch of a back view of a model a<br />
quick sketch that becomes a permanent<br />
work of art.<br />
The smartphone has<br />
become a permanent<br />
tool for the artist but the<br />
sketchbook is still primary in<br />
developing personal artistic<br />
creativity.<br />
