Course outline View

Drawing is a visual language that can be used to communicate and present ideas to clients, to makers, and within a design team. It can also be used as a tool to record and develop ideas and concepts. Through in-class exercises and homework assignments, students learn to apply perspective, technical drawing and various other techniques to develop concepts from thumbnail sketches to more presentable drawings that describe the shape, form, texture & finishes.
