Drawings go beyond the classroom

Professors use blackboards all the time to teach, to demonstrate and to illustrate, but would one go so far as to call the hastily marked scribbles and words on a chalkboard -art?

There's no doubt that there are plenty of interesting tales to be told about the happenings inside the night club Studio 54, but this isn't one of them.
