A freehand studio drawing course limited to pencil and pen, this introductory class concentrates upon seeing, describing, and analyzing form through linear graphic means. Though intended primarily for students considering a design-related career, it is open to students from any discipline wishing to improve their visual literacy. The first half of the course – unbiased toward a particular art – focuses upon understanding the role of line in creating form. Principles of orthographic and perspective projection are introduced in the second half of the semester.
Open to Architecture major and non-major students.
However, it is considered an equivalent to ARCH 251 and ARCH 252. If you have taken either Seeing (ARCH 251) or Measuring (ARCH 252), you should not enroll in ARCH 201 as it will not count towards your architecture module credits if you are or plan to pursue a undergraduate architecture degree.
