Outline of Final Research Achievements

To elucidate the role of sketching skills in the process of design creation, we initially analyzed the relationship between keywords and sketches conceived in the design process. In the thinking process of design, sketching affects the top-down optimization of ideas as well as the bottom-up emergence of design as it extracts new meanings from attributes.
Next we analyzed the relationship between different types of drawing skills used in design. There are differences in the recognition method of three-dimensional shapes and the effectiveness of the relationship between users and the design object in each drawing. These results form the basis to develop educational methods for acquiring creative sketching skills.
