Recenzii
This is an important summation about a lot of foundational ideas in drawing. Having a functional text, written by a practitioner, is what the field needs.
Thinking About Drawing is a book that explores a broad range of approaches to drawing. This book situates drawing as an enduring form of visual communication in a globally connected world. A fascinating range of illustrations bring the subject to life and are presented in relation to clearly defined technical terms. For anyone wanting to give voice to their interest in drawing, this book is the go-to guide.
A refreshing take on the subject, Thinking About Drawing is well-suited to introducing the wonderful field of drawing to students in Fine Arts, Illustration, Communication Design, Architecture and related areas. The discussion is well-framed with intriguing themes and topics such as 'Imitation, Mark and Trace'. The thought provoking text is richly-illustrated with an exciting and refreshing range of images (from early maps and Japanese woodblocks to graphic novels and emojis). A very engaging read that serves well as a broad 'drawing survey' with enough depth for experienced artists and designers.
Thinking About Drawing considers the act of drawing as an expansive, ever-evolving set of practices and legacies that often defy simple summary. Grennan thoughtfully examines foundational, contemporary drawing principles with equal attention to analog and digital processes, and presents a global perspective on how the methods and meanings of 'drawing' have developed in cultural isolation and conversation throughout history.
Simon Grennan's book presents a probing journey through the meaning and uses of drawing. An engaging compliment to support and extend the understanding of the role and nature of drawing for the student and practitioner alike. The examples demonstrate the pervasiveness of drawing across fields and to different ends. It would be a great accompaniment to practice-based art or design education, demonstrating the way drawing can be simultaneously reductive and expansive in its use. The reader finishes the book with an understanding of how drawing can be viewed as both a necessary practical tool and theoretical exercise.
