PRE-REQUISITES OF THE COURSENo
RECOMMENDED OPTIONAL PROGRAMME COMPONENT-
COURSE DEFINITIONThis course is designed for the students to develop and improve their skills in presenting three dimensional objects and architectural spaces with various drawing materials and architectural sketching and rendering techniques. The importance of architectural pattern and architectural sketching will be emphasized in the course. Within this context, various freehand sketches and drawings will be produced in lectures, studio works and homework throughout the semester, focusing on paper composition, types of lines, and various rendering techniques, light and color representation techniques and freehand perspective drawing techniques by using various freehand sketching materials such as lead pencils, colored pencils, dry pastels and markers.
