Abstract
Entry-level drawing abilities have significantly declined, a phenomenon that is largely due to the lack of observation of the principles and practices of teaching and learning new designers. This exploratory study examines the self-perceived security, confidence, and motivation of design students who possess Spatial Intelligence (S.I.), by using three well-known brand markers, through three drawing activities (D.A.), students assessed their performance. Initial findings indicate positive effects on motivation, confidence, and security aspects. Our study delves into S.I. possession, drawing experience, and global experience impact on exercises, revealing no statistical difference in motivation but significant disparities in confidence and security. Non-S.I. students exhibit higher confidence and security levels, indicating a correlation between emotional aspects, self-perception, and tool familiarity. The findings open new avenues for investigation on how to approach the student profile, the choice of tools, and the teaching process to improve students' aspects in D.A. for design education (D.E.).
