John Tyrrell’s work involves different ways that drawing can be used to communicate. Founder of the Drawing Society, which, as a platform the aim being to create one student led Society where the forum will encourage a manageable creative platform that will cross - with freedom - all barriers. The project of drawing is founded on two forms of education, careers and practice Art and Design and their divergence and connectivity as disciplines. Practice and Research includes a profile connecting cutting edge drawing research from professors based in London, New York, Tokyo, Toronto, Venice, Berlin, Glasgow and Dundee. The current material is being published starting with a paper presented in June in Toronto. The paper is one facet of a wide ranging creative structure to be published connecting diverse cultures with drawing using all media from light to geo-psychological mapping. Work involves facilitating the accessibility of the uses of drawing to all the diverse groups that use it, this includes the opening and questioning of every stage of that process. The Toronto paper, whilst embedding drawing within participatory animation practice, John has developed methods of drawing and their links with reception theory. The paper a specialised strand of the wider thesis, will discuss the methods utilised within the process and how it connects with reception theory. It will case study people diagnosed with autistic spectrum conditions where the creative process can become a positive element that encourages development. It will review the practice of drawing within animation and propose strategies, whilst the process is constantly evolving - in the context of reception theory - at the time of creativity. Mapping the use of drawing as a process that can through traditional and new media be a way of encouraging thought and creative paths that are useful in workshops where the aim is to resolve control where there was an imbalance, repair loss through bereavement and in a more diverse special groups deal with the autistic spectrum. The main objective is the way these strategies connect and develop with reference to reception theory thereby enabling a set of refined methods to be defined and used. The aim is to create a method which can correspond instantly with evolving reception from participants, as an adaptive creative process with aims such as social integration, through drawing as part of these animation projects.
