7. The world of painting

1. What is the difference between a drawing and painting? — The word 'painting' normally refers to a ’bitmap’ image. This is a graphic made up of many tiny coloured squares called ’bits’ which are ‘mapped’ on a background to give the illusion of ’continuous tone’ shadings, such as those seen in a photograph. These images arc also often referred to as ’raster’ graphics. With a ‘drawing’ program, on the other hand, one normally creates images by establishing points that are connected by straight or curved lines, resulting in shapes such as a rectangle or an oval. The shapes can then be filled with colours resulting in a red heart or a green shamrock. Many of the cartoon-style ’clipart’ drawings found on the Web are considered drawings rather than paintings. These drawings are also often referred to as ’vector’ graphics.
