The growth and development if drawing as a discipline must in some way be a
result of the growth and success of the cultural industries in the past 10
or so years and the blurring of established media/discipline areas in
industry and subsequently education. From my experience in developing the
BA(Hons) Drawing & Image Making at UCLAN, students want to a set of skills
and learning experiences that can propel them into the cultural industries
in a number of different ways, rather than committing to an industry
specific course. Students fully understand drawing as a core skill, so they
can do this through developing drawing skills and the application of
drawings skills into media areas.

Subject: why has there been a swing back to drawing?
I am in the process of writing my 3rd year dissertation and my topic is
drawing,
asking the question...'Why has there been a resurgent into drawing, in the
recent past?'
I am looking into areas such as graphic design and whether the reason may be
a reaction towards the computer and all the new digital arts.
If anyone has any suggestions or opinions I would love to hear from you all.
Thank you for your help
Becky Brock
