Quote of the week
“The act of drawing,” he explains, forces the artist to slow down, take note of details and look at the world in a new way…I do think that drawing is really about noticing.” It’s about “being alert, being aware, and then showing what you see in a way that speaks to others. It’s the act of noticing, of translating what you see and feel, hat gives drawing its profound significance.”
David Hockney
This quote was taken from and article in The Times entitled ‘The power of the pencil - by Hockney, Emin, Gormley and more. As the Royal Drawing School turns 25, artists tell Rachel Campbell-Johnston about their love of drawing.’
