Through a variety of drawings, documents, and photographs, this project’s main goal was to support the idea of how the Academy of San Carlos wasn't the only institution that consolidated the power of teaching and the spreading of aesthetical codes regarding drawing. There were other institutions, throughout our national territory, that contributed to the formation of artists. In order to demonstrate this thesis, the seminar of Dr. Aurelio de los Reyes of UNAM’s Institute of Aesthetic Research, along with a team of 15 specialists, performed a comprehensive research in files, institutions, private collections. This was done to count drawing’s basic elements by the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century. The curatorial proposal was developed by the seminar of postdoctoral students, under the coordination of Dr. Aurelio de los Reyes. The exhibition was constituted by pieces of private and institutional collections.
