Conceptual VS Perceptual Drawing

Conceptual Drawing


"In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work. When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art." Sol LeWitt



Conceptual Drawing is an art in which the concepts or ideas involved in the work take presence over traditional aesthetic and material concerns. 


Here are some of the examples of conceptual drawing: 
Joseph Kosuth, One and Three Chairs (1965)

Marcel Duchamp, Fountain (1917)



Perceptual Drawing


 Perceptual drawing is the engagement of multi-
sensory experiential stimuli combined with the multiplicity of interpretive meanings on the part of an observer or known as optical illusions.
It stimulates human sensory parts such as vision, taste, touch hearing and so on. 

Here are some of the examples of conceptual drawing: 
Bridget Riley, Movement in Squares (1961)

The two circles seem to move when the viewer's head is moving forwards and backwards while looking at the black dot.
