Drawing is the most important part of the design process. The purpose of drawing is threefold:  

1. The process of drawing itself establishes the creative process of the design. The thoughts are constantly transformed along with the drawing and thinking. 
2. After the drawing is completed, it becomes a tool for communication with other people. Through the explanation of pictures, people can better understand one’s design concept. 
3. The goal of drawing is nothing more than to get all the details of the design that the designer wants. The drawing communicates to engineers how to perform production work.

The aim of this seminar is to enact the reality of creating an artwork when elements of the agency are taken out of one's hands and are mediated by an institution, budget and timescale. Students are asked to make an artwork in response to a fictitious curator‘s proposal for an exhibition. They are given details of why the curator has picked them and the themes the curator is working with, along with a time scale and budget. The instructor guides them through the process of responding to the curator’s emails along with making their work at the same time as keeping the curators concept and intentions in their head. The course is conceived in line with the art history department's mission of advancing the study of art history and one's understanding of art by way of an active engagement with artistic practice. The course therefore offers students of art history and related disciplines the rare opportunity of assuming the perspective of the artist. Complementing this approach, students are also offered the alternative option of taking on the role of curator.
