I think I tend to agree with you but it is interesting to test the boundaries of what drawing is. Can one draw in space perhaps? I don't see why not. I think it's worth debating what drawing is but maybe we were thinking a bit too far out of the box at college that day! Oh well. I prefer being reigned in than having to expand my mind....I think!

I think it is sculpture...collage - sculpture! But you are right, "what is drawing?" Did you come up with any conclusions in your class? I think of drawing as something you do with your hand or a tool...a stick, a finger, a brush, a rock, a pen or pencil...in or on something like sand, cloth, paper, a rock, a building, etc. A friend even told the story of her son and some friends drawing on a brick building with fall leaves! Cool, uh? But I am not sure if this is what drawing is...I am always open to having my mind changed. This is a great post! Fiona!
