AN ANALYSIS OF REPRESENTATION DRAWING AS A DESIGN TOOL (Atena Editora)

Abstract

The different forms of communication make possible the understanding between people, and the verbal and non-verbal languages are the vehicle that provide these interactions, in a flow that makes sense in their contexts. In this article we will deal with the teaching-learning process, in the development of the ability to draw and visualize the shapes of known artifacts, and or those imagined, but capable of being represented.Drawing is a powerful form of communication and becomes efficient as the noises disappear, that is, drawing is easy to understand and self explanatory, in its shape, materials and textures. "To make good perspectives you have to know how to draw". This knowledge is not a manual skill, but a cerebral operation of the way we see things. The exercise of the mental process through drawing and constant refinement increases the capacity for three-dimensional perception. This study permeates forms of two-dimensional representation of artifacts, the efficiency and effectiveness of methods and their techniques, such as: cube method, master line, perspective with vanishing point, frame, ballpoint pen, among others). The analysis of these techniques was carried out from their application in the field, with the participation of sixteen volunteer design undergraduate students. The purpose of the study is to confirm whether the practice of exercises using these techniques improves the students' quality of communication through drawing and its importance in the design process.
