Course detail
Art Techniques – Drawing
FA-VK1-NAcad. year: 2023/2024
The course of drawing develops the essential skills to depict ideas in an independent and free way, without the dependency on any model or aid. This course focuses on architectural drawing - clear, explicit, aesthetic and accurate representation of an architectural situation, whether from memory or from a prepared observation. It develops the accurate perception of depth and proportion of space, understanding and use of perspective, drawing technique, composition rules, and aesthetic feeling. The course is divided into four blocks: introductory lecture, drawing and perception studies, drawing from observation, and the final work which summarizes the completed tasks. An integral part of the course are homework assignments, individual drawing reviewed at consultations, individual visits to selected exhibitions, and studying sources.
