Resumo(s)
This paper reflects on the experience of teaching drawing at three public higher education institutions in Portugal, within bachelor’s degree programs in various scientific areas, including Communication Sciences and Technologies, Product Design, and Fine Arts, aiming to compare pedagogical approachesand the results achieved by students in various curricular units whose programmatic content includesbasic drawing concepts, product drawing with manual rendering, human figures, and animal drawing.
This study employed case analysis based on direct observation and the authors’ teaching and researchexperience. Drawing on three distinct case studies, the analysis led to the development of a proposedpedagogical framework designed to enhance drawing instruction across diverse educational contexts.With a background in Design, the authors argue that Drawing is a tool for creativity, enabling one tolearn to see, understand, and interpret forms, organise thoughts, explore possibilities, and visualisealternatives. This study had the ambition to contribute to: (1) finding strategies that encourage thepractice of drawing; (2) reducing the inhibition to draw, the penalisation of doing and redoing reduces
the motivation for experimentation and taking risks, which is fundamental for a project practice wheredrawing is a tool for idea generation; (3) raising students' awareness of the importance of drawing as atool for thinking, expression, and communication (4) promoting the acquisition of drawing skills and theirapplication in Communication Sciences and Technology, Design, and Fine Arts; (5) encouragingstudents to find their creative voice, message, and identity as individuals, designers, and artists tocommunicate it to others.
Drawing is a practice that requires time, patience, and concentration. In the end, this study highlightsthe need to find new teaching approaches that demonstrate to students the importance of drawing fortheir professional future and minimise the blockages and inhibitions that are increasingly appearing inthe teaching of Drawing.
