Playlist of Drawings

Abstract

This paper presents a teaching innovation project that explores the benefits of integrating music into the process of learning to draw by architecture students. The project required students to draw an increasing number of images projected against the clock, to the rhythm of a playlist or soundtrack, the result of collaboration between the professors of the subject of graphic expression and a group of specialists in the field of music, as well as performers and performative researchers. The aim of this work is, on the one hand, that the students become more proficient in making their drawings in a reduced and limited time, and on the other hand, that the quality of their drawings increases the more they draw. In essence, it is intended to solve the difficulties experienced by beginner students when completing their detailed and analysis perspective drawings, improving their quality and speed through quick sketches or synthesis perspective drawings, while trying to generate a pleasant atmosphere in the classroom that fosters the feeling of belonging to the group. The results reflect the positive perception of the project and the direct influence of music in the drawing process itself as a trigger for creativity.
