Teckning som ett verktyg för inlärning - En studie i förkroppsligade kognitiva processer relaterade till långsamt tecknande

Sammanfattning: This is a study about how embodied cognitive processes relates to slow drawing processes such as stippling, but also other slow mediums such as graphite pencil. With an auto-ethnographical research method the production of a stippled drawing is examined in relation to contemporary cognitional science, as well as a cognitive experiment that examines how important time and technique is to mental processes surrounding the drawing. The study is then examined in relation to other realistically stippled drawings to establish data outside the personal narrative. The main results were that the amount of time you spend drawing the studied object increasingly enhances the cognitive process of gathering of information. Furthermore the usage of hands during this slow process is established as an effective way to feel and remember the essence of an object for a longer period of time. Also, the parallell pause that occurs whilst drawing slowly and methodical enables reflection that stimulate the embodied cognitional processes linked to learning and understanding about objects outside ourselves.
