Course Description
This course focuses on the basic elements of drawing and clay modeling. The Drawing and Clay Modelling course enables students to learn the process of creating things out of clay or employing sculptural methods through observation. It seeks to promote awareness of the utilization of source material and innovative ideas by developing a final three-dimensional piece from sketches and maquettes. Students will acquire abilities to see and comprehend three-dimensional form by the end of the course. Students are introduced to the basics of typography and graphical presentation of their ideas, and later on familiarized with the methods of processing a model based on their drawings.
