PhD. in Design and Creation (Art, Science, Humanities and Technology), Masters in Visual Art, Masters Cultural Caribbean Studies, Masters in Cultural Management, the International Image Festival, Research projects about Art and Humanities, ARCURED seminar, Anilla Cultural Community of Colombia, Drawings, Aesthetic, Philosophy, ArtNetwork and the Studies in Cultural Management, Visual Art, are the basis for creating a Start-Up, looking for ways to execute training processes with specific needs, which allow creative talent to be enhanced, producing digital content. This is how LEOTTEAU ART STUDIO was born.
The methodologies of Research ‘in, by, and for the arts’, Research – Creation, the ethnography of the Image, Action and Participation Research (IAP), complemented by art theories, aesthetic theories, and image theories, aim to execute projects in social research, entrepreneurship, innovation, and creative fields, implemented under ‘the aesthetics of social drawing’.
A drawing is the representation of an image stored in memory, identified as the first form of thought. Now, in the first place, the action of drawing is the action of obtaining the registration of an image. In this order of ideas, the artist thinks in images and imagines the connection or tracing with other referenced points. Anyway, we find two components: one, fundamentally taken from reality, loading it with meanings in its configuration. The other is the one that is kept in the mind that, when associated with the external image, enriches the information of the visual thought of the fragmented images. Therefore, the action of marking with a graphite or ink tool on a paper support, justified as a footprint, a trace, a movement, leads us to show a significant mark; becoming a virtue with a spiritual sense. On the other hand, the drawing reveals security through the line, like a behavior captured from reality in the construction of a geoaesthetic process.
The point is a sign in the drawing; it represents a meaning, which is connected to another sign or point, in a succession of points forming a line. That line is the representation of a symbol, seeking to achieve a shape. Hence, these actions make up a drawing in space, in the artist’s mind and on the rigid or fluid support. Now, a drawing is a visual discourse with its content or its signifier, where emotions and feelings emerge, which are reflected in the strength and tonal value of the lines or points. In any case, drawing is a feeling and it is a form of thought, and like any work of art, it must be based on an epistemology to be valued as art; therefore, the drawings are the visual support of an idea-aesthetic journey in the Caribbean Sea.
