This class gives you 6 drawing lessons for learning practical skills to observe objects on a paper. You get skills of especially perspective drawing method. It is the standard method to draw three dimensional objects and space such as buildings and product designs on two dimensional paper. With it, you can trace back its sizes and proportions of what you draw.
Computer graphics has been popular for the last three 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 my experience said, more the computer graphics become popular, a simple pencil drawing attracts more 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 week, the class gives you a short lecture on the history of the perspective as well. Then we have 6 weeks for practicing the drawing skills.
I run this class for 7 weeks in the first quarter part. I recommend you to combine this class with another class for learning modeling skill, 'C2017 THEORY OF EARTH SYSTEM DESIGN' that is held in the second quarter part of the semester.
