Angela Brew is an artist, drawing teacher and doctoral student based in London. She is studying at CCW Graduate School, UAL. She is co-founder of International Drawing and Cognition Research, http://drawingandcognition.pressible.org/, and a member of The Centre for Drawing UAL http://thecentrefordrawingual.com. After studying sculpture and drawing at Edinburgh College of Art she created and ran Skylark Galleries on the Southbank http://www.skylarkgalleries.com/ and worked as an artist and drawing teacher. In 2006 she completed her Drawing Masters with Distinction at Camberwell College of Art, with an Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) scholarship, and in 2007 began her doctoral research, in the Drawing and Cognition Project http://www.arts.ac.uk/research/drawing_cognition on the impact of drawing practice on perception, also funded by the AHRC. Her research interest is in cognitive, perceptual and motor processes involved in drawing. She is studying rhythm of eye and hand movements and sensorimotor communication between the eye and hand. Her thesis ‘The Seeing Hand’ argues that the hand and the eye forge a strong connection through practice, with the hand increasingly sharing a perceptual role with the eye. Her interdisciplinary research methodology combines quantitative eye tracking techniques, video observation and reflective practice. Her drawing practice explores secular approaches and rituals for death, alongside drawing for wellbeing. She teaches a weekly class “Drawing Growth’ at Brockwell Park community greenhouses, focusing on the drawing process and its potential for growth and learning. http://www.brockwellgreenhouses.org.uk/welcome/category/drawing-growth/
