Drawing as always been the essence of most art forms. Since the beginnings of mankind it has always been the closest form
to nature. It is another form of language to express nature, creativity, (creativity which comes from nature and what we see)
and mankind. Probably the earliest forms of drawing date back to the prehistoric cave paintings at Lascaux.

The objects and material in this exhibition were gathered together, researched and largely written about by students in the seminar "Art and Artists" conducted in the Fall semester, 1997, by Christopher L. C. E. Witcombe, Professor of Art History in the Department of Art History at Sweet Briar College in Virginia, 24595 USA. Invaluable assistance was provided by Rebecca Massie Lane, Director of Galleries and the Arts Management Program, who in turn was assisted by Dana Lee Bordvick '98.
