Course Objectives
The course focuses on the fundamentals of design communication and visual presentation. Principles of three-dimensional (3D) geometry, perception and construction techniques are introduced using two-dimensional (2D) traditional media. Basic concepts and principles of drawing such as perspective, planes, and grids, use of lines, proportion, and composition will be studied through three-dimensional everyday objects and products.
By the end of the course, students will:
- be able to perceive objects as three-dimensional geometries.
- develop an awareness of the basic dimensions of drawing such as line quality, viewpoints, etc.
- be able to analyze and transfer three-dimensional data into a two-dimensional picture plane correctly.
Course Content
The purpose of this course is to give basic information about drawing as a pictorial explanation. Concepts of drawing (perception, line, proportion, composition, etc.) will be studied with examples of three dimensional objects.
Course Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course students will be able to:
- develop sketching and observational drawing skills and techniques.
- gain an understanding of composition, proportion, and figure-ground relationship.
- develop hand-eye coordination skills.
