"Beyond Flatland: Drawing in the Expanded Field In his 2010 retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, William Kentridgeʼs words framed the exhibition for the viewer upon entering, stating: “I believe that in the indeterminacy of drawing—the contingent way that images arrive in the work—lies some kind of model of how we live our lives. The activity of drawing is a way of trying to understand who we are and how we operate in the world.” The words of Kentridge and his body of work provide a significant model for considering the activity of drawing separate from the flat surfaces of its varied histories. The panel will examine how first-year curriculum can explore the diverse ways drawing moves beyond two-dimensional spaces and functions in contemporary art practices. As drawingʼs relevance in foundation pedagogy continues to be debated, a more focused critique of drawingʼs expansive reach in contemporary strategies of production is necessary for understanding how this traditional framework for visual art education remains vital. Thinking about drawing is significant for making informed decisions about the nature of the practice and the analogous ways drawing informs disparate ways of negotiating human experience.
