Abstract
This paper explores the role of ‘reflective drawing’ in a PhD research project that aims to analyse the value of co-design practices used to develop 'engagement tools' within community development. This PhD research is associated with ‘Leapfrog’, a three-year project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The term ‘reflective drawing’ refers to the use of drawing as a means of expression during the reflection process. This research involves a close interrelationship between theory and practice - one informs the other and vice versa. Thus, reflection is a crucial element in understanding this relationship. As Creek (2007) reports, reflection is an intuitive process that enables the understanding of ourselves within a context of practice. Therefore, understanding the reflection process requires understanding the use of drawing. This paper reflects on my own development of ‘reflective drawing’ as a tool to facilitate the capturing of my reflections.
