This course explores technical and perspective drawing, combined with 3D model making in paper and other materials. Based on the conventions of visual communication relevant for creative work in visual arts and design, the course aims to develop skills in observation, analysis, accuracy and constructive imagination. It also introduces digital design and fabrication as contemporary approaches to precise drawing and model making. These techniques are fundamental to analysing and recording the visible world as well as form finding, and are relevant skills that can be applied to a wide variety of practices in art, design and the creative industries. Discussion and critical appraisal will be important adjuncts to observation, concept and practice development.
