Between the world of men and transcendent divinity there exists art. Art is the will to truth made physically manifest. It is more real then Reality. It is a dialogue triumphant over Time. – Andre Malraux

Chiaroscuro Drawings

Chiaroscuro is an Italian for clear/light "chiaro" and obscure/shadow "obscuro".  In art it is a contrast between light and dark and is usually applied to bold contrasts affecting a whole composition but is also for the use of effects representing contrasts of light to achieve a sense of volume in objects or figures.  The drawings below are some samples I did while taking my Drawing I class.
