ID Model: Classification and Criteria of an Impressive Drawing in Art and Design Perspectives for Higher Education

Abstract

Drawing is widely recognised as a fundamental skill in higher education, particularly in art and design fields, where it plays a pivotal role in creative expression and technical development. However, assessing impressive drawings presents challenges due to the subjective nature of creativity and the evolving standards of art education. This study aims to develop a conceptual model that offers a structured approach for educators and students to evaluate impressive drawings effectively. Using qualitative research methods and inductive content analysis of literature from 2019 to 2024, the study identifies key components of impressive drawing, such as technical proficiency, creativity, conceptual depth, and visual communication. The findings highlight a shift in teaching practices, driven by historical and contemporary perspectives, and explore the integration of digital tools with traditional techniques in art and design education. The study acknowledges the inherent subjectivity in drawing assessments and recommends developing a more objective and consistent evaluation system that still preserves creative expression. The proposed ID model balances technical skill with creativity, providing a framework for improving assessment practices and guiding students toward meeting the expectations of impressive drawings. This model adapts to the evolving needs of the field, contributing to ongoing discourse in art and design education.
