Course Objectives
The course aims to develop the student's skills in
- Perspective hand drawing through the deconstruction and reconstruction of 3D objects,
- 3D form alterations through sketching from the imagination,
- Rendering product sketches (shades and shadows, material expression).
- Analysis and drawing of human figures and hands to develop quick representations of user-product interactions.
- Presentation of user-product interactions through storyboards
Course Content
While `developing the habbit of visualizing in 3D` is the major concern of this section of the course, topics such as the fundamentals of perspective drawing, developing surfaces of 3D objects with basic geometric forms, intersecting basic 3D objects and fundamentals of producing sectional views, assembly drawing and dimensioning will be covered.
Course Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Construct accurate perspective drawings of three-dimensional objects using deconstruction and reconstruction techniques.
- Generate and manipulate 3D forms from imagination through iterative sketching exercises.
- Render product sketches that demonstrate clear understanding of light, shadow, and material qualities.
- Produce quick, expressive sketches of human figures and hands in dynamic poses relevant to user-product interactions.
- Develop sequential storyboard drawings that effectively illustrate key moments of user interactions with designed products.
