Abstract

This paper sets forth to consider the significance of drawings as part of visual communication design. It is to present that drawing is not just a cursory to generate ideas, but it has its own energy and philosophy which deserve studying as a domain of art. In recent years, drawing has received attention; there are on the one hand groups of drawing practitioners, and on the other hand a group of drawing researchers. Digging into research actually is a necessity for visual communication studies. Based upon to this perspective, visual (communication) studies should be more selfreflexive. The production of visual communication contributes to construct the visual knowledge in society.This paper is about explicating the writer as the artist himself who do lived-experience of drawing performs as the research objective. However, this objective is an exceptional one, which is the dual experience of the artist as the instrument who producing the drawing and as the spectators himself welcoming and appreciating as he/she reveals him/herself capable of wondering. In a particular way, this research is to show that through the making of drawings, the drawing perform’s the lived-experience, that it can be another paradigm so called art-based or artistic research.
