Possible definitions for rawins


drawing
Art or technique of producing images on a surface, usually paper, by means of marks in graphite, ink, chalk, charcoal, or crayon. It is often a preliminary stage to work in other media. According to G. Vasari, disegno (drawing and design) was the foundation of the three arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture. In the Italian Renaissance, drawing became an independent technique and was associated especially with Florentine art.

In yarn manufacture, process of attenuating the loose assemblage of fibers called sliver by passing it through a series of rollers, thus straightening the individual fibers and making them more parallel. Each pair of rollers spins faster than the previous one. Drawing reduces a soft mass of fiber to a firm uniform strand of usable size. In the production of man-made fibers, drawing is a stretching process applied to fibers in the plastic state, increasing orientation and reducing size. In metalworking, drawing refers to the process of shaping sheet metal into complex, three-dimensional forms with metal dies. See also carding, wire drawing.

Eakins
U.S. painter. After early training at the É cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris (1866-70), he spent most of his life in his native Philadelphia. He reinforced his study of the live model at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts by studying anatomy at a medical college. The Gross Clinic (1875), depicting a surgical operation, was too realistic for his contemporaries but is now seen as his masterpiece. In 1876 he began teaching at the Pennsylvania Academy, but was forced to resign in 1886 for working with nude models in mixed classes. In addition to numerous portraits, he painted boating and other outdoor scenes that reflect his fascination with the human body in motion. His interest in locomotion led him to the sequential photography of E. Muybridge, and he began ...
