Reading Discussion

The quote I chose is "To draw is never a transcription of thought (in the sense of writing) but rather a formulation or elaboration of the thought itself at the very moment it translates itself into an image." I chose this quote because it's how drawings that aren't from still life works really. You get an idea in your head of how something would look and when you draw it, it is a translation from an idea into an image like the quote says so it's like bringing your imagination to paper in a way.
The artist I chose who I think represents good drawing is Tracy Lee Stum who is known for her 3D chalk art, and I think it goes along with the quote because a lot art ideas that she's thought of more than art based on a picture or still life you could look at and draw.
