Milton Glaser on drawing and thinking

In this short video by C. Coy, designer Milton Glaser draws a picture of Shakespeare while talking about the ways that drawing helps him think and perceive: 'for me, drawing has always been a primary way of encountering reality.'

His ideas reminding me of cartoonist Seth's short essay for The Walrus called 'The Quiet Art of Cartooning.' Both Seth and Glaser are in agreement that your mind opens up on interesting ways while you draw. Teachers who prevent students from drawing and doodling while being taught a lesson are hindering their learning.
