This course teaches drawing with an emphasis on communicating design ideas supported by illustration techniques. Students will learn how to communicate graphically via diagramming and three-dimensional pictorial drawings that will include paraline projections, one-, two- and three-point perspective illustrations. Drawing techniques and conventions will be demonstrated to convey effective graphic communications. Special attention will be given to identifying and differentiating the rationale for deploying one type of drawing over another.
