If Our Procedure Is To Work Steadily In The Direction Of Drawing As Fine Art, Rather Than (As We So Often Find) Beginning From Examples Of Such Art, Where Shall We Begin? One Attractive Possibility Is To Begin At The Beginningnot The Beginning In Prehistory, Which Is Already Wonderful Art, But With Our Personal Beginnings As Children. From There It Will Be The Ambitious Project Of This Book To Investigate 'The Course Of Drawing,' From The First Marks Children Make To The Greatest Graphic Arts Of Different Cultures.'From The Introductionpatrick Maynard Surveys The Rich And Varied Practices Of Drawing, From The Earliest Markings On Cave Walls To The Complex Technical Schematics That Make The Modern World Possible, From Cartoons And The First Efforts Of Preschoolers To The Works Of Skilled Draftspeople And The Greatest Artists, East And West.Despite, Or Perhaps Because Of, Its Ubiquity, Drawing As Such Has Provoked Remarkably Little Philosophical Reflection. Nonphilosophical Writing On The Topic Tends To Be Divided Between Specialties Such As Art History And Mechanics. In This Engagingly Written And Wellillustrated Book, Maynard Reveals The Interconnections And Developments That Unite This Fundamental Autonomous Human Activity In All Its Diversity. Informed By Close Discussion Of Work In Art History, Art Criticism, Cognitive And Developmental Psychology, And Aesthetics, Drawing Distinctions Presents A Theoretically Sophisticated Yet Approachable Argument That Will Improve Comprehension And Appreciation Of Drawing In Its Many Forms, Uses, And Meanings.
