When Does Writing Become Drawing?

My line of enquiry was “When Does Writing Become Drawing”

I asked my classmates, my teachers, my housemates and my family what the difference between writing and drawing was, to see everyone’s different opinions, to help me understand the question further. Here were the answers

• With writing you describe what you are trying to say and the reader will visualize it in the way they want to see it. Whereas drawing inflicts the viewers vision of what you are describing, they see what you want them to see.

• Writing and drawing use completely different parts of the brain.

• Writing is translating something you want to get across, while drawing is something that captures your imagination and shows your creativity.

• You cannot draw if you’re looking at the point of the pencil, not seeing the rest of the page… which is what writing is.

• Writing is making lines, which could be considered drawing.

• Writing is a verbal purging of your inner feelings expressed, and a drawing is a visual purging of your inner feelings expressed.

• When you write, you describe a situation for the reader to interpret and imagine. When you draw, you represent the situation through imagery.

• When you write you are solely focused on what you pen is doing and you’re not see the rest of the page.

• Everyone can understand what you writing, whereas drawing is your own personal language.

• Writing is making letterforms with lines and drawing is making shapes and objects.

• Drawing is not a language everyone can understand.

• Writing is more poetic. Drawing is more universal.
