B Objectives 1. What is the main purpose for this course? This course will develop the students freehand drawing skills using different media and techniques. 2. Briefly describe any plans for developing and improving the course that are being implemented. (e.g. increased use of IT or web based reference material, changes in content as a result of new research in the field) Increased use of web-based materials as references. C. Course Description (Note: General description in the form used in Bulletin or handbook) Course Description: Freehand drawings are the process of representing an object, a scene, or an idea by making lines on a surface, which differs from painting with colors. It is express our ideas and thoughts and communicate designs to different audiences. This course introduces students to freehand sketching and drawings as means of visual communication. It aims to develop and refine freehand drawing skills for interior design applications by focusing on drawing from observation of buildings, interiors and still life. Drawings will show compositions, proportions, light, color, and perspectives. And students will use pencils, charcoal, and ink as main mediums. The course will be structured around demonstrations and tutorials, on-site drawings, and individual and group critiques. Weekly drawing assignments will serve to further develop the required skills of the course. 1.
