An opportunity not to be missed!

Artists use drawing in many different ways as a means of thinking. It may be to plan out an idea for a piece of writing, for a sculpture or a painting. It may be to investigate and explore an idea about space, relationships, connections with the natural world. It may be to study an idea about how things work in the world, perhaps growth in natural forms or political systems. It may be to analyse or try to make sense of patterns, systems and stories It may be part of an ongoing attempt to understand more about an aspect of art history that is particularly important to the artist. It may express something about ambiguity, about thought itself and different ways of thinking.
