IMPORTANT:
the class will be on campus. But COVIT19 may close the campus off again this semester. In the case this class may be on-line-class using ZOOM and Slack. Besides, The last assignment of the drawing exercise is drawing SFC campus. We look for chances to make on-campus class especially in the last 2 weeks of the class.
In the case, if students outside Japan have problem to re-enter Japan, I give alternative assignment for these students.
This class gives you a series of drawing lessons for learning skills to observe and describe objects on a paper. The class focuses on perspective drawing. It is a standard method to draw three dimensional objects and space such as buildings and product designs on two dimensional plane. With it, you can trace back its sizes and proportions of what you draw by learning perspective.
Computer graphics has been popular for the last two decades. It has become difficult to attract your clients only by showing computer graphics. I have practiced my carrier in design and fine art field. And as long as I have experienced, 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 class gives you the hand-drawing-design-language.
In the first lecture, the class gives you a short lecture on the history of the perspective as well.
I run this class for 7 weeks in the first quarter part. I recommend you to combine this class with 'C2017 THEORY OF EARTH SYSTEM DESIGN' that is held in the second quarter part of the semester.
