The objective of the course is to get acquainted with various classic graphic techniques and their potential use, with view to their possible alternative application to the presentation of architectural designs. The objectives are achieved by mastering the simple techniques and their possible use, with view to colours and their potential exchange (linocut, monotype). Study of the effect of colours and their combination on the expression of the final image. Ways of making monotype by multiplication of print from a small matrix, its modification and expressive potential. Transition to more complex techniques – gravure printing. Evaluation of the potential of classic graphic expression in relation to computer graphics, and the possibilities and expedience of their combination.
In the study programmes “Architecture and Urban Design” the course is part of the courses on tools.
