Often undisclosed to the public, drawing is perhaps the most intimate element of artistic practice, exposing the decisions, indecisions, and indiscretions of a "loudly voiced record." Its difficulties in definition reflect the undecided status of its process, practices, and objects. We find drawing as an investigative act of search, as a form of social and political discourse, as prefiguration and mapping of ideas, as a road sign, as the graphic language of advertising, as a safety guide in aircraft, and much more. This fluency of visual language must be developed, cultivated, and provoked, equivalent to any other important means of communication.
With a history as vast as the history of culture, the act of drawing remains a primordial and fundamental means of translating, documenting, recording, and analyzing the inhabited world, both external and internal. Also, the act of looking at a drawing allows us to experience the mapping of another's experience, the testimony of their world that they share with us. The transfer of ideas, either from a concept onto a surface or through a message, means knowledge. Looking means knowledge, and drawing teaches you to look.
