The objective of this workshop is to develop improved visualization abilities, i.e., formation of mental visual images and transformation of those images into drawing skills. Learning how to draw better begins with learning how to see clearer. Students will practice and develop a series of drawing methods and techniques in the context of the architectural design process. Emphasis will be on the development of free-hand drawing that enhance the ability of the designer in communicating conceptual ideas, especially the role of working design experiments on overlays of tracing paper. Exercises use sketching as a method of improving the way one sees things and enhancing one’s thinking in graphic terms.
Open to non-architecture students with instructor approval based on demonstration of a minimum ability to draw. Sophomores and above. Space is limited and registration does not guarantee a space in this course. The final course roster is formulated on the first day of class by the individual instructor.
