This is an advanced drawing course that provides intensive focus on experimentation, process, content/thematic focus,and numerous drawing strategies. It advances on basic skills learned in Instrumental Drawing and also introduces product and interior Design. In this module, students will explore various approaches to drawing and use of drawing as a vehicle of personal expression, thought, and creative discourse. Emphasis is on acquiring basic freehand and hardline drafting skills, but the study will also include an introduction to the theories of representation and the power of basic drawing to inform the design process. The course integrates analog and digital media through sketching exercises and an introduction to CAD.
This module deals with creation of three-dimensional objects using specialized software to model different things (e.g. tools, clothing articles, packages, to name a few). The process will be complex, time-consuming, and you will need much technical know-how beside creativity. As future designers, you have interests in studying Modeling Technology: the module will increase your creative workflow whereby you will combine 3D and 2D modeling techniques involving hand-drawn sketches and their realizations in the software. In this framework, you will be able to create realistic and detailed design concepts that you can evaluate before working on the proper prototype later in your creation/innovation process.
