Drawing is absolutely essential to all art. It is a way of thinking and problem solving. It shows you a way of looking at the world from inside out. Drawing is a discipline and a form of expression. It is the underlying structure for painting, design, printmaking as well as the 3d arts. Drawing is what I do and what I teach. Not all students are gifted or talented, but all can learn to see the world in a more meaningful way and represent their vision completely on paper. It just takes work and it takes looking and paying attention.
