Art {{multiple image One of the ways of drawing
sketches of heads—as
Jack Hamm advises—is to develop it in six well-defined steps, starting with the shape of the head in the shape of an egg. The female head, in particular, is sketched in a double circle design procedure with proportions considered as an ideal of a female head. In the first circle, the division is made of five sections on the
diameter, each section of five eyes width. It is then developed over a series of ten defined steps, with the smaller circle imposed partially over the larger circle at the lower end at the fourth stage. Eyes and chins are fitted in various shapes to form the head.
Leonardo da Vinci, considered one of the world's greatest artists, drew sketches of human anatomy using grid structures. His image of the face drawn on the grid structure principle is in perfect proportion. In this genre, using the technique of pen and ink, Leonardo created a sketch which is a "Study on the proportions of head and eyes" (pictured).
Cuisine Slaughtered animal heads are a variety of
offal or
variety meat. The head as offal can be subdivided into the
brain,
ears, eyes, face meat (further, into choice cuts like
jowl), and
tongue. Animal heads are typically necessarily included in 'whole animal' preparations, such as
pig roasts and
barbacoa. Whole animal cooking is prominent in
seafood. •
Tête de veau is a Western European dish made from the head of a
calf. •
Sheep heads are eaten whole in many cultures: Scandinavian cuisine, as
smalahove or
svið; South Africa, as
intkoko yemvu or
'smileys'; and Kazakhstan, as a boiled dish. • Severed
fish heads are a widely accepted ingredient for
fish stock, as well as being a
delicacy: a prominent example is
fish head curry in Southeast Asia. • Choice
pluck from the head is used to make
Head cheese/brawn. Heads of humans are sometimes blazoned simply as a "man's head", but are far more frequently described in greater detail, either characteristic of a particular race or nationality (such as Moors' heads, Saxons' heads, Egyptians' heads or Turks' heads), or specifically identified (such as the head of Moses in the crest of Hilton, or the head of St. John the Baptist in the crest of the London Company of Tallowchandlers). Several varieties of women's heads also occur, including maidens' heads (often couped under the bust, with hair disheveled), ladies' heads, nuns' heads (often veiled), and occasionally queens' heads. The arms of Devaney of Norfolk include "three nun's heads veiled couped at the shoulders proper," and the bust of a queen occurs in the arms of
Queenborough, Kent. • "To
