Drawing, like writing, is an essentialy human form of expression, investigation and communication. Our intention when starting Drawing Rooms as an arts center in 2012, was to promote, encourage and display developments in drawing and drawing-related works by artists in our area. In creating this journal, we want to extend our reach beyond the walls of our building and present an ever-progressing selection of artists and images to a broader public. The dea of turning these artworks into print, making something you can hold in your hand is much in keeping with these goals. Drawing is an action as well as an object-it is an action of movement of hand, arm and even the body in co-ordination with seeing and thinking that results in the record of a new form. At Drawing Rooms, we see the act of drawing and principles of drawing as applying to not only works on paper, but also to painting, sculpture and even at times photography. Artists are always seeking to expand their visual language and express their message in unique ways. This gathering of works by artists involved in the Jersey City area offers twenty-five approaches to drawing and drawing-related paintings, photographic images and three-dimensional drawing.
