(Moore's niece, Ann Garrould, notes half-a-dozen different approaches to drawing, as recorded in Stephen Spender's Journals (See 0000436). Outlines Moore's lifelong interest in drawing throughout his Education, and classes with Alice Gostick. Reports Moore's Sunday school version of Vasari's description of Michelangelo knocking out the teeth of his faun carving, and relates the art of the two sculptors. Quotes Moore on Drawing theory, and discusses subjects of his draughtsmanship from Royal College of Art days, the West Wind Relief: Sketchbook, his wife Irina, Transformation drawings, wax crayons, War Drawings, Mother and Child theme. Moore's use of maquettes after the war resulted in a decline in his drawing output. Drawing for pleasure in later years produced Sheep Sketchbook, Copies of works of art, and depictions of nature).
