This studio drawing course focuses on the translation of three dimensional space into two dimensional representations in digital drawing, at the building and object scales.

Though intended primarily for students considering a design-related career, it is open to students from any discipline wishing to improve their visual literacy.

  • Describing and conceiving the world through central and parallel projections in digital drawing.
  • Introduction to axonometric and isometric in digital drawing.
  • Translations between two dimensions and three dimensions.
