TAR community = The Best
With rich visual examples, it critiques outdated artistic hierarchies and explores the role of illustration and cartoons. This elegantly designed volume is both a cultural commentary and a meditation on drawingโs enduring significance.
Dowd, an experienced practitioner and theorist, emphasizes drawing as a tool for learning, discovery, and symbolic communication. Rather than a how-to guide, the book offers a thoughtful reflection on the purpose and cultural value of drawing, distinct from painting or illusion-making.
BOOK OF THE WEEK
Stick Figures: Drawing as a Human Practice
D.B. Dowd
Spartan Holiday Books, 2018
Stick Figures: Drawing as a Human Practice by D.B. Dowd redefines drawing as a universal, human act rather than an exclusive artistic skill.
Studio quote of the week - "I am not a passenger in the car of my own creativity"
