Today's further discussion of what defines a drawing has helped to further understand what we are doing as students. The history of drawing goes back to first scratch in the sand. Drawing has been used to record information, tell a story, show a diagram, and even our every day use of writing words down on a sheet of paper. Encountering drawings as a viewer and as an artist has impressed me, determined me to become better, and inspired me to create other works. Ever since childhood I've been intrigued by other people's works and finally I'm starting to be able to do works that I myself find credible.

Trying to define a "drawing" within an hour between three people is hard if not impossible to do. Our group tried hard but struggled to agree completely on what it should be. The definition had to be loose enough to cover all sorts of work out there but yet limit the definition to keep out work that would not be considered a drawing. But not only that we were asked to refine what makes a drawing successful. Our thoughts were what we have been drilled with since enrolling at UW-Stout. Anyways, all in all it went real good.
