The world becomes available to us through our senses, and by using our
empirical knowledge, we are able to comprehend our relative position in
relation to the objects we produce or we make use of. Drawing, as a means
of observation, in this system of acquiring operative knowledge, plays an
important role in transforming the world and in validating all projectual
decisions made.
Artists commonly think of their problems through lines and strokes,
whether to define a problem, or to solve it. They normally carry around
sketchbooks where they register and question reality. This is one of the
methods used to obtain knowledge. We sometimes get astonished with
drawings we made of things we never thought to have observed. We draw what
we see without even knowing.
In what way does a correct observation, using drawing as a means of
acquiring knowledge, allows me to be more creative in my projects?
