| Summary: | This paper analyses the potential of elementary graphic marks such as signs and pictograms for the depiction of complex scenes like landscapes. In their basic synthesis, these marks have a Notacional property, establishing a very keen relationship between drawing and natural appearance. In this study, there is a historical framework linking the practice of notacional drawing with the requirement of a quick observation and execution, especially the in the Eastern culture. After, we look for the graphical conditions implied in this process, and its peculiar relationship with silhouettes. From the analogy with writing, results a calligraphic and spontaneous process whose perceptive grounds are found in the observation of silhouettes and textures. However, despite the use of notational systems in the representation of landscape, there is a danger of extreme conventionalism, compromising expression and a lived perception.
