| A drawing course for 'hands on' makers. Explorations of the role of light/darkness in creating form, contour drawing as sensitized 'seeing', 'hidden' structures and geometries, and drawing as a tactile and cerebral act. Focus on composition and visual mechanics lays an important groundwork for designing in a variety of material arts disciplines. Basic 'eyeball' perspective and paraline sketching is explored as a tool for creative thinking. Drawing is understood as observation (seeing), documentation (research) and communication (with oneself, with clients). Exploration of a variety of materials and techniques builds skills in free-hand rendering, encourages risk-taking and enhances conceptual understanding. |
