 html\n\nIn the world of Art today there is so much confusion as to what is
  Art. For instance\, drawing to some has been redefined as mark making. To
  me this is far too crude an expression to describe something that not onl
 y involves the total coordination of your eye\, mind and hand but also all
  your feelings about what is in front of you and indeed around you at a sp
 ecific point in time. Mark making by contrast is the difference between si
 gning your name and taking a thumb print. What sparks people off into draw
 ing? In my own case I remember really enjoying it from the age of five. Th
 e desire grew inside me I think and later\, by looking at books that had g
 reat drawings in them\, with one book in particular on Rembrandt that full
 y opened my aspirations. Within that book\, it had the all-time great draw
 ing of ‘Two women teaching a child to walk’ which was probably made in
  under a minute.\n\nWhat an example! Maybe though it would mean nothing to
  you if you have no feeling for it. Those of us who wanted to draw when we
  were children would come back to a drawing such as this and sit and wonde
 r at how someone had managed to capture something so fleeting and convey s
 uch life. In my middle years I am still in the same state of wonder at tha
 t drawing and so many others\, and will be till the day I die. So if you a
 re young or if you are old and have been reading this\, stop now and sit f
 or a very long time and look at Rembrandt’s great drawing reproduced opp
 osite.\n\nThen come and see the exhibition and enjoy the works of acknowle
 dged Masters in drawing from the 19th and 20th century alongside people wh
 o draw today. Make your own mind up on how far\, or even how not so far\, 
 we have got with this great and strangely undervalued art.\n\nby Martin Ye
