石头，布，剪刀:摘自JoAnn Gonzalez Hickey收藏

什么是绘图?? 虽然这个问题看起来很简单，但潜在的答案是无数的和复杂的. Some may see drawing as practice for a larger work in another medium; a system of note taking; a substitute for the camera; an act vital to artistic, 精神上的, or intellectual growth; the primary focus of art; a method for experiment and risk; not confined to two dimensions; an extension of the body; everything.

绘画在当代艺术界是必不可少的. The number of artists who identify primarily as practitioners of drawing is great; many artists move between drawing and other previously privileged practices without making hierarchical distinctions. The number of forms drawing can take is extraordinary and surprising; artists regularly expand the vocabulary for art through drawing.
