Learn More About The Gold Drawing

Gold is one of the most expensive, sought-after, and recognizable of the precious metals.

This has been the case throughout history, because gold is relatively pure in its natural state, moldable, and nearly indestructible.

Its density also makes it a good conductor of electricity, and today it is used in the wiring of all sorts of devices.

Because of its universal value, gold has also been used as a currency throughout history, often in the form of coins or other traded goods.

Gold bars, such as the ones in this tutorial, are held in reserve by governments and banks the world over.

Because of its worth, gold is also used to symbolize other, often non-material, things of great value. Examples of this can be found in phrases such as "the golden rule," "the golden years," or "a golden age."

Wedding rings are often made of gold because it does not break or tarnish.

One of the most well-known modern hoards of gold is located at Fort Knox in Kentucky, U.S.A. In 1936, a bomb proof shelter was built to house a large portion of the country's gold reserves. During World War II, it also protected important documents such as the United States Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Magna Carta, and the Gettysburg Address.

Of course, gold is also used to make jewelry and other decorative objects, such as medals and trophies.

One ounce of gold can be used to make nearly 200 square feet of gold leaf - extremely thin, tissue paper-like sheets that are used to cover objects such as statues or sign lettering.

It is estimated that nearly 200 thousand tons of gold have been mined from the ground.
