Abstract Details

2004, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Art Education.
This research study on drawing for communication evolved from an interest in formulating a freehand perspective drawing instruction strategy for non art majors and adults without design training. The need for the drawing training has been expressed by different practitioners, in particular, those who are interested in developing an ability to produce quality realistic drawing from thought in order to create, communicate and exchange ideas. The focus of the study in the research phase was to investigate the 3-D grid perspective drawing instruction implemented in an entry level drawing class for design students; the method has proved to be successful in developing the desired drawing skill (Anderson, 1997). The purpose of the study is to explore and propose a drawing instructional strategy and a concept of drawing for communication described from the perspective of and in terms of the discourse of interpersonal and socio-cognitive development. Vygotsky’s concept of the zone of proximal development is employed in the theoretical development of the study and the research investigation along the lines of sociocultural development. In the beginning phase of the study, the interpretation of the 3-D grid drawing instruction utilized in this class is described with a particular focus on the process of the drawing production skill development itself. In the research phase, the paradigm of the practice of drawing for communication was more fully developed, and two research propositions were generated. The interpretations of the instructional strategy, the use and form of semiotic tools, and the skill of drawing for communication introduced in the class were extended to include the means of training described within the context of the social and interpersonal communication exchanges of the class. The designer communicative skill offered in this entry level design drawing class was described in terms of the development of skill in producing realistic drawing from visualization, the designer communication language skill development, and unique ways of producing drawing integrated/interacting with language production during the process of developing both skills through design studio transactions. Implications of the findings for cognitive development, drawing training development, art education, and general education are discussed.
