I agree with your pupil, its a pretty tight and neat 'definition'.
However, what about the more etheral or ephemeral ways of drawing. With these clear skies around where I live at present airplane jet trails make fabulous marks on the atmosphere (not entering a debate about global warming), marks on snow or on sand, and one of my favourites, shadows.
I have in my office at Kingston an ever growing record of peoples works where they are pointedly attempting to 'Define Categories of Drawing'. if anyone is researching this subject I would be glad to share some of these with them .

Whatever makes a mark, on whatever takes a mark.
I think I will embroider that on a cushion.

Hello all,
Just thought I would share this with you all. An 11 year old pupil of mine managed to define drawing after about half an hour of thinking and discussing.
She thinks it is .... Whatever makes a mark, on whatever takes a mark.
The future looks bright!
