For the purposes of this article this seems a useful definition and, if Michael Ginsborg is to be believed, it should be possible to unravel the most significant aspects of drawing by attempting to understand it in its basic form. This definition also includes the kind of drawing that is made in art therapy sessions and, as I stated in my introduction, I aim to begin to look at the relationship between the practice of drawing and the therapeutic process. However, the simplicity of these boundaries is deceptive, since it will not be possible, in this paper, to describe the many different kinds of drawing, which fall within this territory. I hope to lay the foundations for a, future, more in depth exploration of the psychological significance of particular ways of drawing.
