Course detail

Drawing of Product

FSI-YKVAcad. year: 2019/2020

The subject focuses on drawing of an industrial product in a perspective view. Managing this type of drawing is essential for the first phase of the work of an industrial designer. The work proceeds from an elementary sketch depicting the basic structure to the definitive representation of the product model. The correct depiction of reality lies in the reduction of the source object to the basic geometric formations, taking into account the principles of perspective projection. Sketching is a method of expressing thought and the basis for further developing of a visual design.

Aims

The aim of the course is to develop skills to draw according to a model with the focus on industrial products with gradual increase in difficulty. The aim of the course is to support the ability of both real and schematic visual depiction of objects based on capturing the source object and thus improve the art of drawing.

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.
