Drawing

http://mhsartgallerymac.wikispaces.com/Contour+Drawings http://mhsartgallerymac.wikispaces.com/Gesture+Drawing Drawing as we know is a form of visual communication. Drawing is making marks. Drawing is your handwriting, the way you form your letters and the way you compose those letters on a page. Drawing is decision making which, is also thinking. Whether it is working from observation or scribbling in your note book, whether it is writing a poem or a letter or a paper, you are making decisions with each line, angle and curve you make. Drawing may be the basis of making art and it may be looked at as a basis for thought. Drawing is a sign of intelligence. Drawing is a way of controlling something, like composing is arranging or ordering. Drawing is fundamental to being human as it starts at a very early age. Drawing is saying, "here I am."
