Drawing as almost a perpetual state for humanity and it predates and embraces writing.[me1]
"Barnett Newman swore that the first man, who happened to be an artist, made the line in the dirt with a stick, creating the first drawing and simultaneously the first art work”[me2]
To comment on this statement from Barnett Newman I would say this is perhaps true and the reason I say it it’s because Mankind started at prehistoric art representing the world in caves. These nomad tribes would depict the content of the landscape according to seasons and live stock.
Those drawings made with broken charcoal, limestone, chalk and other rocks illustrated artistically, were and when I that place you could find nutrition and other needs in an unpretentious way.
These representations at the Chauvet Cave, Ardech in the south of France and Altamira in Spain ‘to name a few” are examples of memory and observation drawings. The way that they have being made, the marks, composition, proportions and intentions evoke in my opinion what drawing is about.[me3]
Drawing taps the inner meaning of things as it formulates visual metaphor. This alliance, “process of drawing” and “capacity of wonder” have made part of humanity history well before medieval age witch makes drawing the earliest and most immediate form of image making. The qualities of this medium have remained unchanged for thousands of years, the magical qualities and its immediacy reinforce the effects of wonder and imagination and those still today as important.[me4]
