Course Description
This course explores the different modes of visual communication used in illustrating design ideas. It introduces students to the key techniques in visual representation, technical drawing, sketching in perspective and color application. Students will undertake an intensive series of exercises to develop their drawing and sketching skills and techniques, by using traditional tools such as pencils, pens, color pencils, and markers, among others.
Topics will include history of perspective; basic theory of one, two and three point perspective; and basic orthographic projection, sectioning and dimensioning in 1st and 3rd angle. Students will learn how to present accurate monochrome and color renderings of simple products in three dimensions (perspective drawing), and produce a sketchbook showing the development of their drawing skills.
The drawing and sketching program combines lecture material on the history and theory of perspective drawing with intensive studio practice. The intention is that specific aspects of the visual presentation of ideas will be progressively introduced and that students will master each stage in turn.
