This document discusses the concept of drawing through examining various artworks and artists. It begins by looking at a Caravaggio painting from 1594-1600 called "Boy Bitten by a Lizard" and discusses Caravaggio's technique, composition, use of color and tone, and painting process. It then provides several bullet points to guide visual research on the painting. The document continues examining concepts of drawing through analyzing works from artists such as Maori moko designs, graffiti art, found drawings, Cy Twombly, Brice Marden, William Kentridge, Luc Tuymans, William Scott, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Banksy, and Natee Utarit.
