COURSE DESCRIPTION An exploration of perspective sketching for students with prior knowledge of projected perspective methods. The emphasis is on creating quick, freehand sketches. Prerequisite: INDES 160 or equivalent, or recommendation of instructor.

Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students should be able to: 1. create a quick perspective setup of a room using 1-point and 2-point views 2. draw freehand perspective sketches with greater confidence 3. pursue more advanced perspective lessons by having a toolkit of skills and knowledge to facilitate further practice 4. create more convincing entourage (people, landscape, furniture, etc.) 5. work from computer-generated printouts of perspective models, such as those created in SketchUp, to make more “animated” presentation drawings 6. work from photographs, identifying scale, vanishing point, horizon line to create simulated revisions to existing spaces 7. use sighting methods to sketch existing architecture and interior spaces REQUIRED TEXTS

None. Recommended texts will be introduced in class. REQUIRED FOR EVERY CLASS SESSION: Sketch book, Roll or pad of tracing paper, in-progress work, and completed assignments. COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND GRADING

1.

Attendance

2.

Assignments

Attendance and active participation is required. Contact me if you cannot attend. As much as possible, we will limit the assigned work to what we can accomplish in class. That’s why it’s important that you be here every week.

3.

Sketchbook: A sketchbook will be a required aspect of both in-class and homework activities. It can and should also include any lecture notes, etc. Students are expected to complete a minimum of 50 pages in their sketchbook to pass the class. Drawings may be fastened onto sketchbook pages if they were created on separate sheets.

4.

Portfolio: A portfolio of student-selected work will also be required. This will include reproductions or original work that might be from the sketchbook, in-class exercises, or sketches created to fulfill perspective drawings assignments outside of class.

5.

Assessment: Completion of all assignments is required to pass this course. However, each project will be assessed according to expectations for individual students, based on their expertise. Essentially, demonstrate that you know HOW to do what was covered in class, regardless of how elaborate your execution may be. Regular consultations with the instructor will serve as the student’s source of evaluation, assessments, and feedback throughout the term.
