Entropía como análisis y producción del dibujo

Abstract

This research arises from the need to find new methods of analysis of drawing as a form of graphic expression and communication due to the great complexity that derives from both its nature and the interrelationship established with the observer. For this reason, we propose an approach to drawing from a scientific concept that allows to determine the efficiency within the systems. Based on the connection pointed out by some authors such as Arnheim between the physical concept of entropy and art, this study has tried to particularize these principles to the field of drawing and has deepened this relationship based on contributions from many disciplines. The general objective of this thesis has been, therefore, to demonstrate the link between entropy and drawing and also to prove that it is possible to measure the efficiency of drawing as a system based on the concept of entropy and to propose levels of order and disorder for it. In order to confirm the usefulness of this connection between drawing and entropy, two practical experiences have also been developed. In the first of these, an analysis of drawings from different disciplines and periods was carried out in order to determine both the levels and the efficiency of the information contained in them. The second experience consisted in the creation of a series of drawings by the author of this work, having the concept of entropy as a source of inspiration and a tool for reflection. As regards the main conclusions of this thesis, it should be noted that the proposed open-system drawing model could be considered useful for the interpretation and analysis of this type of graphics and could also be used during the creative process as a tool for a conceptual approach to the work and for reflection on it.
