Class description

This course is intended to help students further develop their skills in seeing, interpreting, and reconstructing the landscapes through drawings and other 2D techniques. The purpose is to strengthen the students’ ability and fluency in reading and representing the urban landscapes, including expanding their repertoire of graphic techniques. The course consists of a series of in-class and take-home exercises, following a structured sequence of hand drawing, collage, and mixed media. We will also examine the graphic layout of presentation boards and other media for presentation.
