Drawing
Drawing is a personal matter that is done
by hand and focuses on the aspect of thinking through drawing. One person who this
relates to is Leonardo Da Vinci who found solutions by doing drawings.
Within the drawing below created by Da
Vinci, he has drawn an image of a Giant crossbow, however he has used the
drawing principle and thought about the process of making it work, after he had
come up with an initial design.
The work of Da Vinci and the principle of
drawing can also be linked to a piece of work done by Danny Gregory, which was
about what he had ate. Even though the subject matter might not be the same and
the qualities of the drawings are to different standards, both artists had created
the drawings first before the thinking
process of what is the next stage .
Visual language
Visual language is a creative tool that is
used to generate ideas; this can be done using either imagery or text. It is all
based on the idea of having a meaning.
Peter Blake had explored visual themes,
which he was interested in, this was the theme of Pop art .His work was either
a collage of lettering or images which he was interested in, by doing this he
is almost telling a story within his work.
Another person who had generated ideas and
made his thinking visual was Tony Buzan, however his style was different to
Blake’s as he expressed his ideas through mind mapping instead of just using
images or text.
Buzan had a meaning behind his mind maps as
he had a subject which he wanted to expand on, just like Blake’s had a meaning
behind his work, as it linked to an interest of his. The two styles used by
Blake and Buzan try and tell a story or express a general idea by putting their
thoughts down on paper just in different ways.
