Good point Althea. I don't have experience of the Studio School but I did
attend the New York Academy of Art Grad. School of Figurative art where
drawing was equally as fundamental. Also I attended classes at the Art
Students League in New York where drawing is central and the classes are
full! I do know, sadly only from recommendation rather than experience, that
the regular 'drawing marathons' offered by the Studio School are extremely
good in that they offer the opportunity to focus for an extended period of
time on - usually large-scale - work while receiving skilled advice and
direction.
What would maybe be interesting is finding out how many of us 'academics'
doing drawing research are themselves involved in their own drawing
practice, either as part of their current research, or as a seperate
activity. Also, how many would characterise that practice as 'fine art',
[which is the area Perl seems to be focussing on], or as something else.
