Learning outcomes
Design drawing is a course which aim is, based on knowledge of perspective and descriptive, to teach students real drawing in perspective, and help them in creating their own designs and sketches. The course divides into two basic parts. In the first part, students get acquainted with descriptive and perspective at the general theoretical level. In the second part, they apply this knowledge in practice in design drawing. Students practice it in individual classes and improve in it. Teaching takes place in two semesters. Design Drawing I deals with geometry, technical drawing, perspective and other sciences that introduce students to the matter. They will obtain a basic comprehensive overview of various ways of projection and their use in professional practice. They will learn which types of projections are suitable for creating technical drawings, and how to create drawings as such. Through a brief historical excursion, they will get acquainted with the vanishing point perspective and learn the basic rules to follow. They will apply the acquired knowledge during the subsequent classes, when they learn how to construct a cast shadow or how to accurately divide areas in perspective (this is applied e.g., in architecture or interior design). Teaching has a format of sequential exercises, beginning with an expert explanation of the matters discussed and the acquired skills are subsequently applied to the assigned task to practice the given problem. Part of the course is also outdoor and indoor drawing.
The gained capabilities constitute an encompassment and an aquirement of knowledge and experience in the given field of study, they result from a concrete annotation of the subject and are aimed at a profile´s fulfilment of the graduate of the given field of study.
