This drawing was produced during a very dull meeting in Bristol.
Most of us who take drawing seriously try to create new worlds and new thoughts, both technically and conceptually, and we do so by trying to develop an individual visual language – a world that no one else has seen and a way-of-drawing that no one else has previously attempted.
Much of drawing also involves the making of shapes, a grappling with form, and giving these a kind of order and structure within a whole composition.
Drawings encompass a wide range of activity: - from doodle and sketch to something more elaborate; from rough scribble to neat diagram; from first thoughts to last; to clarify or make a point; to record and to remind us of something; to enjoy the making of marks for their own sake with whatever instrument and upon whatever surface. They are messages and signs and they end up as themselves with a life of their own. |
