Course Description

This course seeks to develop the “thinking hand of the designer” through explorations in freehand sketching. Students will be introduced to freehand drawing conventions and techniques through weekly assignments and record their individual growth in a required sketchbook. Methods of representation will include narrative storyboard perspectives, conceptual diagramming, plan/section/elevational linkage, landform, site and planted form representation and axonometric projection. Sketching opportunities through in-class field-trips to contemporary houses of interest, one-on-one instruction and peer review discussion will structure the learning.
