- Drawing skills, tracing and attention – towards drawing without handsPublication . Santos, João DosIs there a drawing skill integrating a common ground for the perception of the things in the world? This is one possible question regarding an approach to the function of drawing today. There is no straight answer to this question because there is no univocal definition of drawing. Nonetheless, it is possible to delineate one important skill that is developed through the practice of drawing: attentive look. Attention, as addressed in these lines, is an educated perceptual skill that permeates the ability to see and to draw2. I will argue for the value of traced drawings.I am assuming that the acquired knowledge and understanding of the visual field, integrating different parts in relation to each other and to the mind of the drawer, is this common ground; and that drawing as the mediation of this visual perception is the required skill. I will also suggest that attentive drawing can be measured and made visible using digital technologies, namely EEG interfaces, as an artistic undertaking.
