THE IMPORTANCE OF DRAWING
We start every class with a warm-up drawing. We call this "Stop, Drop, and Draw". Not only does this exercise train our hand and eye to work together, explore mark-making and sketching styles, but also builds our process of drafting our ideas visually. Below is an excerpt from "The Art Supply Store Blog" that delves into how important drawing is to us and our communication.
"Art or more specifically, Drawing has played a significant role in life of every human since the dawn of time. Throughout childhood, we spend endless hours with crayon in hand, scribbling, scribing and formulating the visual vocabulary which influences our lives today. Our written language can be said to be a form of drawing in and of itself. Therefore, Drawing is at the root of all our visual communication.
Drawing provides the foundation, structure and context of any great work of art. True, there are some artists that do not draught at all, prior to creating a piece. However, somewhere along the line, a sketch, thumbnail or doodle was most likely made, in order to start the visualization process." http://www.theartsupplystore.co/blog-the-importance-of-drawing/
