Drawing from observation continues to be a practiced art form by both professional and amateur artists, despite the availability of technology that allows for quick and easy image capture. This raises the question: what does observation drawing mean in the lives of those who engage in it?
The book explores the structures of the lived experience of drawing, weaving phenomenological reflections into a narrative about the author drawing her sister on a train. It includes lively accounts from hobbyists, art students, contemporary and historical artists, and considers how drawing shapes place, time, the body, and relationships with the world and others. The author addresses various aspects of drawing, such as the connection between drawing and thinking, the range of emotions felt when drawing a person, and the experience of digital drawing.
Montgomery-Whicher concludes that observation drawing warrants a place in general education as well as in the education of artists. She argues that drawing will continue to thrive because it is a human practice that deepens and enriches our humanity by giving us access to keener perception, greater understanding, empathy, and wonder. The book will be of interest to anyone who has ever wondered about the appeal of drawing, including professional and amateur artists, philosophers, and educators.
