Retorno al dibujo: de la elegía al nóstos

Abstract

This project stems from a personal concern regarding the distance I experienced from the practice of drawing during my university studies. In response to this absence, I propose a return to drawing through an inquiry into how the practice is taught in academic settings. This reflection focuses on two dimensions that shape drawing classes: the curricular framework, represented graphically through diagrams, and the Palacio de la Merced as a physical space, approached from an architectural design perspective. Using these conceptual and graphic tools, a methodological strategy was developed based on a questionnaire that gathers students’ perceptions of their academic, spatial, and emotional experiences in class. The information collected is then translated into a graphic proposal that serves both as evidence of my research process and as a personal reconciliation with drawing.
