Drawing: art and means of communication!

Both an art and a means of communication, drawing has been mastered for more than 67,000 years by men, while they have only been able to write for 5,500 years. Children also often draw before they can even speak. The first sketches were made by the Romans. Subsequently, it was during the Renaissance that this art was revolutionized.

To know everything about pencil drawing

For centuries, pencil drawing has never lost its appeal among artists. Great masters of yesteryear and contemporary creators use it. Just like painting, a pencil drawing in black or color brings a touch of life to any room in the house.

Description
Little prince of the Dakar medina from his tender youth, Youssou Ndour now evolves in an ample matrix, of which he listens to the sounds, the moods, the successes: Africa.

Youssou Ndour never hid the importance he attached to linking the past to the future. If Dakar is an on-line capital, if the Medina has taken the turn of electro, the griots, the Sufi brotherhoods and enlightened Islam, always have, and perhaps even more today, their place.
