>Furthermore, a drawing research community is clearly emerging, largely

>drawing journals, professors of drawing, and PhD students. There are
>links between this community and other, more established research
>domains (e.g. education, fine art, psychology, computing and
>engineering). This drawing research community embraces vibrant practical
>cultures within art and design where participants are as likely to
>engage in research through drawing as research into drawing.

>The current agenda for drawing research is varied and includes the
>creation of theoretical perspectives, the place of practice in research,
>the cross-curricular value of drawing, drawing and creativity, the
>disparate nature of drawing knowledge, the lack of common reference
>points, revealing drawing research methodologies, the appropriate means
>of disseminating research findings and the impact on education.

>The forum aims to provide an opportunity to focus on the achievements to
>date in the field and whether an infrastructure for drawing research and
