Lines of Inquiry: Multidisciplinary Methodologies in Drawing and Education

Lines of Inquiry: Multi-disciplinary Methodologies in Drawing and Education is a collection of essays written by researchers, scholars, and artists from nine countries around the world. The multi-disciplinary contributors include teachers, artists, architects, psychotherapists, museum educators and curators who bring their distinct positions and experiences of using drawing in collaboration with others, in classrooms, in the community, in private practice, and as researchers interpreting and analyzing the experiences of others.The collection is organized in a way that takes the reader through a journey of what drawing is and can be; whether that is through a mapping of one’s daily route, a marking of territory, an expression of an experience, a problem-solving equation of arrows and lines, a comic, or a concept of imagined lines that demarcate power. Some contributions speak to the embodiment that drawing allows, some to learning and knowledge construction, and some to an age-old way of communicating. The international roster of contributors provides suggestions for developing new ways of knowing, for developing empathy toward things that may lie outside our own experiences, and for seeing alternative perspectives through drawing.
