Course detail

Geometric Objects Drawing

FSI-YKGAcad. year: 2017/2018

This course is concerned with drawing the still-life composed of basic geometrical objects with a uniform surface in a perspective view. Geometric objects form the backbone of most displayed units and their proper reflection is necessary to master correct proportions and perspective rules in drawing. The course is a preparation for industrial design workshops.

Aims

The aim is to enhance students’ knowledge of drawing. Practical exercises emphasize building-up the mass in the surface and proportion of objects. The subject leads to practicing correct perspective principles of simple elements of different shapes and their positions including shading.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Compulsory attendance at seminars. Education runs according to the week schedule. The way of compensation of missed seminars is specified by the tutor.
