O diário do artista: desenhando e redesenhando o processo de criação

Abstract

This Final Graduation Project presents some reflections on the artist's diary, in which drawing, integrated into the creative process, transcends the barriers of the medium and brings us closer to the particular meaning of the unique experience of human beings in the world. Without intending to dwell on a detailed historical analysis, the text provides an overview of discourses and practices on drawing, which throughout this research is understood as a tool that brings us closer to the visual investigation of our world. To research this approach, I highlight and utilize the artist's diary, historically present in the history of Art, as a means to design, store sketches, conduct experiments, develop paintings, and produce quick drawings. Thus, with the aim of reporting my experience with the artist's diary and the possibility of its use as a research object for those who may be interested, I gather in this work the creations of Leonardo Da Vinci, Guillermo Del Toro, and Edith Derdyk, along with my personal productions at a symbolic, figurative, and abstract level. I explore, to some extent, their limits in contemporary artistic production, in which drawing is enhanced as a device of the creative process and our perception of the world.
