IDES 3210Language of Line

Catalog

Rapid visualization (Power Drawing) skills will be presented in lecture, demonstration, progressive hand-generated drawing exercises and project work in an in-depth study of the "language of line" and how it generates visual confidence. The course analyzes the three keys to drawing authority; form, position and texture. Further, the course will place these elements into a process that will produce and solve design problems ranging from understanding basic volumes to successfully illustrating complex volumes through study of applied science, ergonomics and ethics.
