Digital Drawing Overview
I have drawn throughout my life. However, starting in 2014, I returned to drawing with a new kind of energy. Officially, my reason was to develop the requirements for new interactive (cross-sensory) drawing technologies (this work is ongoing). However, my emotional reason was to return to the drawing and paintings practices that drew me into art and design in the first place. However, more was going on. During my PhD, I had developed a perceptual-cognitive model to better understand the affordances of pictures and diagrams. Bringing a scientific understanding to drawing was a partial motivation behind that work. These examples demonstrate my practice-oriented exploration that I am simultaneously exploring via theory.
