'To Draw Is To Be Human' (First Section) Reading Response


The first section did a good job introducing the idea of the whole text itself: about drawing and its history as the topic of discussion.  Though I do think this section is a statement that I can overall agree with, some of the ideas were difficult to perceive, such as the world being a human’s “canvas” as they’re just naturally “born to draw”. I understand this because it is true, but maybe just don’t understand in the sense that I wasn’t very fond of the wording or context it was assembled in. I think the writer is describing drawing as a habit much more than an interest or hobby- being the name of this part, “to Draw Is To Be Human”. However I think of art as a developed hobby; sure it is a habit, but only few go on to improve it, and realistically in our particular situation, a modern Western society, it is clear to see why so few have developed this habit when it is looked down upon.
