METHOD
  • a series of themed workshops, essentially based around drawing.

FREEHAND DRAWING
  • learning to observe.
  • learning to transpose space, volume and texture through drawing. Academic sketches: observing the worlds of minerals and plants, rough sketches, simple volumes, rendering textures and shadows. Architectural sketches: building perspective, leakage points, exploring spatiality

ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS
  • mastering the use of instruments: T-squares, set squares, pencils, felt pens ...
  • familiarisation with architectural conventions and representation: line thickness, plans, cross-sections, page lay-out.

GRAPHIC AND PICTORAL RESEARCH

  • learning how to develop form, exploring their interaction in compositions, combining form with colour, exploring the sensitivity of lines, rhythm and proportions.
