COURSE DESCRIPTION: This is the first of 2 courses in which students create architectural illustrations, both hand drawn and computerized. Students will prepare illustrations based on floor plans and detailed CAD drawings. Emphasis will be placed upon drawing skills and technique, in addition to, basic 3D computer modeling. Students will develop skill in using 3D computer techniques, as well as, hand drawn visualizations to present their designs and concepts. COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES: - Prepare freehand sketches and pictorial field drawings to develop ideas, concepts and spatial relationships for production of measured drawings. - Prepare simple presentation drawings. - Read and interpret working drawings into sketches, illustrations and models. - Prepare orthographic, oblique, line and perspective drawings. - Apply art media techniques to presentation work. - Create basic two and three-dimensional presentations using various illustrational techniques and art media. - Create simple perspective drawings of an architectural structure for presentation complete with basic rendering. - Create a basic 3 dimensional model of an architectural structure. - Produce drawings using various types of media and techniques. - Prepare full presentations complete with illustrations and 3 dimensional computerized models.

STUDENT ACCOMMODATION: All students have the right to study in an environment that is free from discrimination and/or harassment. It is College policy to provide accommodation based on grounds defined in the Ontario Human Rights Code. Accommodation may include changes or modifications to standard practices. Students with disabilities who require academic accommodations must register with the Centre for Student with Disabilities. Please see the Centre for Students with Disabilities for details. Students requiring accommodation based on human rights grounds should talk with their professors as early as possible. Details are available on the Centennial College website (www.centennialcollege.ca ) If students are unable to write an examination due to a medical problem or unforeseen family problems, they should immediately contact their professor or program Chair for advice. In exceptional and well-documented circumstances (e.g. unexpected family problems, serious illness, or death of a close family member), students should be able to write a make-up examination to replace an examination missed.

POLICY STATEMENTS College Policies The following statements are selected from Centennial College policies approved by the Board of Governors. Student Responsibilities Students are expected to know the contents of the course outline and to discuss with the professor any areas where clarification is required. Students should keep all course outlines for each course taken at Centennial College. These may be used to apply for transfer of credit to other educational institutions. A fee may be charged for additional or replacement copies. Other Policies Students should familiarize themselves with all College Policies that cover students rights, responsibilities, and the Academic Appeal process. For further information, consult the Academic Matters Section in the full-time and continuing education calendars. The Academic Appeal Application form is available from any Enrolment Services (Registrar) Office. Proof of Student Status Students are obliged to produce official photo identification at any time during the semester when requested to do so by any professor. (The official piece is the Centennial Student Card.) Continuing Education students do not have Centennial Student Cards, and so they may use other forms of photo identification, such as a driver s license, health card, or other government-issued photo identification. Final Examinations When writing a test or examination, students must put their official photo-id cards in full view, for review by the invigilator. Students who do not have official photo-id will be permitted to write the examination with a substitute photo-id, but they will be required to produce photo-id at the program or department office within 24 hours or the next business day following the examination, or else the examination results will be void. Faculty Consultation Professors are available to see students outside of class time. Students can contact professors via voice mail, email, or through their program or department office. Information regarding how to contact teachers will be provided at the beginning of the course and is also available in the program or department office. Human Rights Statement It is the policy of the College that all programs will strive for a learning, teaching, and working environment that promotes inclusion, understanding and respect for all students and employees, consistent with the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Centennial College's Statement of Diversity. 1/30/2008 THIS COURSE ADHERES TO ALL COLLEGE POLICIES (See College Calendar) Page 4
