John Andrews Student Prize for Drawing.
“Drawing is a Method of Thinking, a connective understanding between the eye, the hand, and the mind. At its most primitive level, drawing could be reduced to a single mark: a smudge from the tip of a finger. A scratch from a nail or an imprint from the palm of the hand. On a more esoteric level drawing may be understood and utilised as a vehicle for communicating an abstract idea”. John Andrews.
This year we are introducing a drawing prize open to all students across the School of Architecture and Design. This prize, which will be an annual award, is dedicated to the memory of John Andrews, a much-valued colleague who was teaching in the School until his untimely death this year. One of John’s aims in his teaching was to combine the physicality of drawing with thinking and the pursuit of knowledge. This prize aims to demonstrate the importance of drawing as a process of discovery and communication that takes place across our disciplines and also as a subject, medium or method of research.
We invite all students across the School from any level, to submit a drawing, sketch or diagram. This should be largely hand-drawn and related to notions of ‘discovery’ within your particular studies. The prize will be awarded for quality and precision in the use of medium and for success in communicating the drawing’s intention.
One prize will be awarded for an Undergraduate student drawing and one for a Post-Graduate drawing. The prize will be a magnificent book about the processes and significance of drawing.
