Drawings. Visual works.
Subject
Subject Source: Local sources
Scope Note: Visual works produced by drawing, which is the application of lines on a surface, often paper, by using a pencil, pen, chalk, or some other tracing instrument to focus on the delineation of form rather than the application of color. This term is often defined broadly to refer to computer-generated images as well. (AAT) Include sketches under 'Drawings', but ignore doodles, unless particularly noteworthy. (NLS) In the published catalogues this heading was used for pictures. The heading 'Pictures' was used for all lists of pictures and for descriptions of treatises on pictures. (NLS) .
