The William Halsey Locomotive Drawing Collection





Images produced by a railway enthusiast in the middle of the 19th century in the US.

Barry Mcgee



In this section think how you categorise/collect images. Does it have to be in sketch pads and journals, or can it happen in the display of the work.

Michael Landy



Drawing from work titled 'breakdown' in which the artist categorised and systematically destroyed all his possessions.

Charlie Harper.

Simon Evans

The images and hand drawn text underneath shows Simon's need to categorise order the world that surrounds him, think how ordering can aid or in some cases hinder understanding during this weeks drawing tasks.

GUIDO SCARABOTTOLO


Scarabottolo's collections of objects and beings all arranged in a space, think how you can personalise the images you are collecting through drawing.

Saul Steinberg



Steinberg's diverse yet cohesive image making. In this first section of the drawing project think how a range of materials can change how and what your work communicates.

An going series of multilayered drawings of people known to the artist. Look at his work with the Jubilee Line Underground staff.

Drawing As Collection/Classification

Rising Star











Some images of Lizzie Towndrow's Bear head produced in the 2nd year - simple and innovative structure/image that produces strong graphic and theatrical results.
