In a world in which the word "art" is used with reckless abandon, in which "art" is whatever is hanging on the wall, in which museums continually perplex the masses, in which exists the term "sandwich artist"—in a world like this, The Drawing Studio stands like a golden obelisk, proclaiming the truth: The fundamental act of art is drawing, and drawing is the practice of observing and communicating ideas visually. Bravo! A 9-year old girl who just finished summer classes at TDS said, "I'm going to do it for the next seven years! No, eight!" An awesome endorsement, indeed.
