Drawing knowledge: TRACEY call for papers

Date posted: 20/05/2011

Tracey is a fully peer reviewed electronic journal dedicated to drawing and visualisation. It is varied and diverse with a fast growing readership ofacademics, students and practitioners representing a wide range of drawinginterests including fine art, architectural design, product design andvisual communication - ideally any activity in which drawing andvisualisation is essential.

In this next invitation for submissions, they are focusing on the theme of Drawing Knowledge, particularly in relation to the following questions:

Is drawing utilised sufficiently as a fundamental tool for thinking across disciplines?
How aware are we of conventions?
How is drawing as an experimental approach and attitude distinct from drawing as an outcome and discipline?
How has the practice of drawing in education changed, and how do we ensure its continued relevance in an increasingly digital age?
What role can drawing play at each stage of the design process, and in enhancing design thinking?
What are some cross-disciplinary case study uses of drawing as a problem solving and creative ideas generation tool?
Is the teaching of drawing distinct from the teaching of art and design, and what current role does it play?

A submission may constitute drawings or other visual material, texts or research papers that have not been published before or have been published in a different context and also texts and images combined. There is no word or image limit. All submissions will be peer reviewed by two members of the peer review panel. Please visit the site to view the guidelines for submissions and a list of their peer reviewers.

Deadline for submissions: 30 September 2011
