Why do people draw?

Radio 4 in Four

Available for over a year

Drawing is something we all do unselfconsciously as children before we learn to write. It is a form of expression that goes back 40,000 years and began on the walls of caves. Lucy Ash asks why do we draw - are some people simply more visual than others? And what do we reveal through our drawings? First broadcast on The Why Factor, 14 July 2016.
