Drawing for design, thinking and communication tool

Abstract

Methodology and creativity are two essential elements in design. In the submitted article, drawing is analyzed as thought, representation and communication, based on the different modalities and teaching methods, the use of techniques and the resources that are characteristic of designers. We will focus on those variables that determine the teaching of drawing, from its intergrationist origins to the teaching-learning processes adapted to methodological renewal, following the guidelines established by the European Higher Education Area. Thinking, conceptualizing and drawing will be a vital experience for all those students who turn their attention to Fine Arts, from any of the degrees: Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Design, Bachelor of Conservation and Restoration. However, we will place special emphasis on the development of the actions concerned with the knowledge of objects from a graphical point of view, for those students taking their first steps in design, laying the foundations for decisive project development in drawing.
