IMPORTANT:
In 2020, due to pandemic, the campus will be closed until the end of the academic year. And this class will be on-line-class using ZOOM and Slack. Besides, The last assignment of the drawing exercise is drawing SFC campus. So I still look for chances to make on-campus class in the last 2 weeks of the class.
In this case, if students outside Japan have problem to re-enter Japan due to Pandemic, I will give alternative assignment for these students.
This class gives you a series of drawing lessons for a skill to observe and describe objects on a paper. Specifically the class focuses on perspective drawing. Perspective drawing is a standard method of "how to draw three dimensional objects and space such as buildings and product designs on two dimensional plane." You can roughly measure its sizes and its proportions of what you draw by learning perspective drawing.
Computer drawing has been so popular for the last two decades. And it is difficult to attract your clients by presenting your idea with only computer graphics. I have practiced my carrier in design and fine art field. And as long as I have experienced through my carrier, more the computer graphics become popular, a simple pencil drawing get bigger power to attract people.
I regards freehand drawing as a design language to observe and describe what you can not describe by text. The purpose of the class is to provide you a chance to get a skill of hand drawing so that you can use the design language.
In the first lecture, the class gives you a short lecture on the history of the perspective as well.
