Course DescriptionThis course is designed for the students to develop and improve their skills in presenting three dimensional objects and architectural spaces with various drawing materials and architectural sketching and rendering techniques. Within this context, various drawings will be produced in lectures, studio works and homework, focusing on paper composition, types of lines, and various rendering techniques by using various sketching materials such as lead pencils, colored pencils, dry pastels and markers. In these drawing practices, expression of light, texture and color in architectural drawings and sketches will be discussed. The importance of architectural pattern and architectural sketching will also be emphasized.
