We give a detailed proof of T. Willwacher's theorem arXiv:1009.1654 which links the cohomology of the full graph complex fGC to the cohomology of the deformation complex of the operad GER, governing Gerstenhaber algebras. We also present various prerequisites required for understanding the material of arXiv:1009.1654. In particular, we review operads, cooperads, and the cobar construction. We give a detailed exposition of the convolution Lie algebra and its properties. We prove a useful lifting property for maps from a dg operad obtained via the cobar construction. We describe in detail Willwacher's twisting construction, and then use it to work with various operads assembled from graphs, in particular, the full graph complex and its subcomplexes. These notes are loosely based on lectures given by the first author at the Graduate and Postdoc Summer School at the Center for Mathematics at Notre Dame (May 31 - June 4, 2011).
