(a compendium of thoughts, musings, observations, images and revelations about drawing compiled by students and teachers at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro)
From A Simple List by painter Squeak Carnwath
Art is not about facts but about what is; the am-ness of things.
Art is evidence. Evidence of breathing in and breathing out; proof of human majesty.
The visible is how we orient ourselves. It remains our principle source of information about the world.

Excerpt from the poem Where does the Temple Begin, Where Does it End? by Mary Oliver
I look; morning to night I am never done with looking.
Looking I mean not just standing around, but standing around
as though with your arms open.

Sketchbook ideas
- Draw in public--a coffee shop, a movies, a park, the grocery store.
- Draw to notice--keep your sketchbook at your side for one whole day and determine to make little drawings of ANYTHING that catches your eye!
- Try drawing from the television.
- Draw your hands as often as possible.
- Keep a written record of all your favorite quotes
- Make a contour line drawing of ten of your favorite objects; write about why they are a favorite below each drawing
- Collect photos of your favorite artists and glue them down
- Make a list of all your favorite words
They look delicious!
