An increased public and academic interest in drawing and sketching; both traditional and digital; has allowed drawing research to emerge recently as a discipline in its own right. In light of this development; Writing on Drawing presents a collection of essays by leading artists and drawing researchers that reveal a provocative agenda for the field; analyzing the latest work on creativity; education and thinking from a variety of perspectives. Writing on Drawing is a forward-looking text that provokes enquiry and shared understanding of contemporary drawing research and practice. An essential resource for artists; scientists; designers; and engineers; this volume offers consolidation; discussion and guidance for a previously fragmented discipline.

Needed tighter editingBy cgwThere are some good suggestions in the book; but tighter editing would have eliminated repetition and improved the quality of the writing. For example; the story of the authors growing up on the wrong side of the bay and not having much money was repeated until it sounded like whining. She wasnt poor and her parents were well educated; so whats to complain about? The story of the first Manolo shoe purchase was repeated unnecessarily; too.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Between the lines of this book lies a more interesting story.By Soha BhardwajBetween the lines of this book lies a more interesting story of a biracial and statuesque first generation American woman forging her identity through style; not fashion; with limited resources in the deep south. Her efforts in crafting this image formed the underpinnings to her version of the American Dream. The book slightly misses the mark. It is still readable and somewhat interesting.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Love her and this book!By Bookgirl76Love this book and her. Ive always google Rachel Roy to get fashion inspiration and her book doesnt disappoint. After you read the book it makes for a great table book-you cant go wrong since her style if very classic and allows normal people like me to mix high end with low end to make a complete outfit.
