Drawing is the simplest and most efficient way to communicate visual ideas, and for centuries charcoal, chalk, graphite and paper have been adequate enough tools to launch some of the most profound images in art. Drawing enables visualization and development of ideas. It is a tool of creative exploration that informs visual discovery.  Drawing is also used to readily document what an artist sees, remembers, or imagines.
