Aims and Scope

Drawing: Research, Theory, Practice is dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of drawing practice and research in its current cultural and disciplinary diversity, with a focus on contemporary practice and its theoretical context. Delivered in print, the journal re-establishes the materiality of drawing at a time when virtual, online electronic formats dominate the field of contemporary visual culture.

A peer-reviewed academic publication, the journal encourages pluralist forms of discourse that reflect the evolving relationships between drawing practice and theory and their representation in research. It aims to be a forum for engaging interdisciplinary debates on the ways in which drawing functions in contemporary culture – as experimental practice, process, performance or product; as visual narrative, methodology, cognitive process, representation, documentation, recording or communication tool; as an investigative, descriptive or interpretive pursuit; as a site of conception and production, critical thinking or discursive exploration – addressing current issues, traditional concepts and histories.

The journal content – including articles, critical essays, research projects and reports, artist and practice profiles, original visual material, featured drawings, book, conference, event and exhibition reviews – addresses the roles, functions, values and cultural significance of drawing in a multidisciplinary context. It presents drawing as a discipline in its own right and in a diversity of forms across fine art, architecture, design, craft, animation, media and visual communication, social and cultural practices, psychology, science, and technology. DRTP invites practitioners, researchers, educators and theorists to make contributions that deal with the various knowledges and representations of drawing.
