This study day forms part of the University of the Arts London's three-day Drawing Out 2012 conference
With the resurgence of the practice of drawing in recent years, debate has arisen around its place within current artistic practice, and in particular its role in art schools.
The National Gallery, displaying one of the finest collections of Western European painting, is an ideal venue to continue this dialogue and to examine how the practices of the past inform the present.
