Graphic Translation/Drawing
0.25 Credit(s)
Studio
The primary focus of this course is to translate objects from realistic representation to graphic form using conceptual sketching and detailed documentation. The course is focused on the development of ideas through improved drawing accuracy and a heightened sensitivity to observation. Special attention is given to the use of drawing with the purpose of delivering an idea in the exploration phase of the development of effective communication. This course introduces students to the possibilities of changing or enhancing the meaning of words and images through their symbolic application. The course will be delivered using lectures, in-class discussions, demonstration and critiques. A series of drawing and conceptual assignments will develop the required skills and techniques for image development. All assignments based on studio-seminars require research and presentations that include verbal, written and visual components.
