This studio course explores drawing and modeling as a means of understanding the relationships between things: their size, qualities, effects, and relative positions. The human body as a measure of the environment is a key concept in the course. Considerable attention is given to the development of a disciplined approach to the construction of measured drawings as a means for developing and describing design concepts. Though intended primarily for students considering a design-related career, it is open to students from any discipline wishing to improve their visual literacy and spatial perception.
Learning objectives:
– Introduction to scaled, measured digital drawing.
– Development of an understanding of dimension and proportion, especially in relation to the human body.
– Exploration of scale through three dimensional modeling.
– Introduction to digital cutters.
Software requirements:
- Rhinoceros 3D
- Adobe Illustrator
