Drawing in three dimensions: a paradigm shift

This paper considers issues explored during the inaugural project of the Feral Drawing Group (University of Plymouth, Exeter) in which rapid prototyping technology was investigated as a potential drawing environment. It concentrates on a paradigm shift in the grammar of traditional objective drawing that was found to occur when the drawing device is not constrained to a flat surface but can move freely in a three dimensional space. It also describes practical and conceptual considerations arising from the translation of a virtual 3D drawing into a real-world object.
