FREEHAND DRAWING-I

Course Description

Freehand Drawing I aims to teach students to improve their knowledge about the basic principles of drawing such as line, volume, composition and perspective with an emphasis on observational, descriptive and analytical drawing. Students also improve their freehand drawing techniques. Students in this course will have the opportunity to work experimentally with a variety of artistic materials and presentation techniques. Geometric figures, still-life studies of human anatomy and the basic drawing techniques, as well as fundamental concepts of drawing are introduced. The course will also focuses on the structural properties of objects of different sizes, progressively, with a special interest on strengthening the relationship between eye-brain-hand and their knowledge to use in visual communication design.
