<p>With the massification of Higher Education and the current challenges posed to creative learning in mainstream schooling, drawing as a prerequisite asset for knowledge appears on the face of it, to be vulnerable. Richard Serra’s statement ‘there is no way to make a drawing - there is only drawing’ (Serra 1994), gives us a helpful form of words to reimagine the potential in drawing as a form of self-determined learning. But it also suggests that the act of drawing is fundamental to the human condition, and is iterative by default. We face an increasing need to reassert the role and practice of drawing as an insubordinate and radical proposition in learning, capable of unlocking new ideas, thoughts and experiences in and of the world.</p>
