This course introduces students to precise drawing and model making through a series of weekly projects. By applying freehand, technical and perspective drawing together with model making, students will develop an awareness of conventions of visual communication relevant for creative work in visual arts and design. We will explore a variety of materials and their properties applied to a range of processes relevant to two and three dimensional design and construction. These techniques aim to develop accuracy and constructive imagination. Discussion and critical appraisal will be important adjuncts to observation, concept and practice development. This course may be delivered as a semester length course or offered as an intensive.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Identify basic processes and material properties relevant to the discipline;
- Apply a range of introductory technical skills;
- Demonstrate proficiency in working with and exploration of relevant materials and processes; and
- Demonstrate observation and analytical skills in areas such as 2D and 3D representation, design and model making.
