Drawing as a speculative activity. 2 - Drawing out / Drawing is a way of mapping After drawing: how is drawing an impetus to other practices? What opportunities exist for new technologies as a way of mapping our world? 3 - Drawing across / Drawing is a way of communicating Drawing as a part of general literacy and its relationship to numeracy, writing and measurement.
