Abstract
Whilst we can agree that the act of drawing inevitably records the passage of time, one of its prime functions in all cultures has been to represent space, objects within space, and our position(s) relative to both. This study reviews Edmund Husserl’s ecological phenomenology and James J. Gibson’s ecological visual perception theory, proposing a dialectical relationship between the two as the basis of a studio-based teaching strategy. The strategy is presented with examples of work by students and the author.
