The Drawing Research Network (DRN) was established in 2001 as part of the The Big Draw.  The DRN is an international network of individuals and institutions who are involved in some way with improving our understanding of drawing, for example through professional practice, education or general interest. It aims to use this knowledge to raise the profile of drawing and drawing research.

DRN is…

• An international community of researchers / artists / designers / educators
• A place where people can engage in debate about all aspects of drawing practice (theory, philosophy, education, methodology)

DRN does…

• Moderates an email based forum on drawing research (DRAWING-RESEARCH@JISCMAIL.AC.UK)
• Hosts a blog for DRN members to publish events, concepts, perspectives and debates on drawing research
• Facilitates and coordinates conferences, symposia and seminars on all aspects of drawing and visualisation together with collaborating host institutions

Members of the DRN community are welcome to submit posts to the DRN blog HERE.
