Hi Alma, I have always thought that drawing and/or sketching is part of a
thinking process, a reflective process within design process.
For several years, I have been "mapping" design methods, so I have found
some interesting material on the "sketching" issue.
Some bibliography I think would be helpful:
*Design Issues:*
Rudolph Arnheim, "*Sketching and the Psychology of Design*," vol. 9, no. 2,
(Spring 1993)
(this text is contained in "The Idea of Design")
*DRS Conferences Proceedings:*
T. Y. Pan et al. 2002. "*Verbal language and sketching*." In Common Ground.
Proceedings of the Design Research Society International Conference at
Brunel University, September 5-7, 2002. David Durling and John Shackleton,
Editors. Stoke on Trent, UK: Staffordshire University Press, 530-536.
Chen, H., You, M. 2004. “*The Comparison Between Novice and Expert
Designers’ Sketching in Conceptual Design.*”, In in Design Research Society
International Conference - Futureground 2004, Monash University, Australia
*IASDR2007*
Abdelmohsen, S. and Yi-Luen Do, E., 2007. "*Tracking design development
through decomposing sketching processes*"
Tseng, W. 2007. “*The influences of unstructured ambiguous figures in
ideation and interpretation*”
other material:

sketching*". In Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Systems
Research, Information and Cybernetics, Baden-Baden.

MSc research thesis written in Explore-Lab 5 (2008/2009) at the Faculty of
Architecture, TU Delft. Titled: *Reasoning in Architecture; About the
Diagrammatic Nature of Thinking with Real and Imagined Objects*.

All of these texts have enough helpful references.
If you have any trouble in finding any of them please let me know. In some
cases I have the PDFs or, at least the download links.
best regards

> I realize we define sketching in different ways and we use sketchbooks for

> studies, sketch notes, notes, idle thoughts, communicate or externalize

> tool of the design process?
>
> From what I understand and from what I have studied in the past about the
> history of dance, the study of drawing and dance were part of the education
> of a child during and after the Renaissance (until we eliminated it from
> education in schools). And drawing was also considered a method of teaching
> observational skills— unless you were studying to be painter or were a
> painter or an artist, where drawing was much more than observational skills.
>
> So, how do we go from drawing to observe and understand the world to
> sketching as a tool to generate ideas for a solution and as tool that other
> designers can use to finalize or replicate a project solution?
>
> I have been thinking about this and I think it has to do with building
> boats and other machinery but I wanted to see if anybody here had some
> thoughts as to where to look for more information?

> Thank you in advance!
