Drawing Parallels In Art Science For Collaborative Learning: A Case Study, Karen Westland
The STEAM Journal
This research paper explores drawing as a tool to facilitate interdisciplinary practice.

Interdisciplinary projects face interpersonal and conceptually ambiguous challenges which can be addressed through adopting drawing techniques for educational purposes. Findings highlight that drawing can assist across a breadth of applications as a learning tool for everyone, regardless of drawing ability, to improve the functionality of collaborative projects. Specifically, drawing combined with other communication techniques develops a performative communicative approach that enriches …
