Course contents :
|
| OBJECTIVES
- to learn how to visualise space
- to practice the bases of descriptive geometry studies in first bachelor
METHOD
- a presentation prior to each exercise will introduce new concepts
- these will immediately be put into practice by the student in the workshop, in the form of working drawings
WORKSHOPS
- architectural shadows
- on plans and simple volumes
- on solid-angle and curved surfaces
- the architectural perspective
- the point of view, the board, the horizon, the vanishing points
- the intersections of plans, shadow lines in perspective
|
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|
- to understand shadow logic
- to understand perspective and practice it through drawing
- to develop vision in space and its understanding
|
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
|
- descriptive 1 course
- sketching class 1
(first year of bachelor) |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Pratical works will be given during four hour workshops every two weeks.
- a short introductory presentation will highlight the difficulties of the exercise, as well as the rules required to tackle it.
- the student will realize the exercise during the workshop
- the exercise has to be finished at the end of the workshop
For these workshops, drawing material is required, which will be specified at the start of the year. It is vital that students have this material with them at each workshop.
Drawings are carefully and precisely drawn by hand, using instruments.
The use of IT tools is not allowed. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
|
- a syllabus brings together the various graphic classes. It outlines the main principles as well as giving examples of perspective.
- the following book is recommended to complete this overview (idem bac 1):
Frank CHING, Design Drawing, Van Nostrand Reinhold, NY, USA, 1998 |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The exercises will be supervised by the teachers and given back to students, as a rule during the following session.
- they will not be graded, but appreciated by letters
- work which is not submitted by the deadlines given cannot be resubmitted, other than with a valid reason (such work is graded as "zero")
Presence in the workshops is compulsory.
Assessment is organised at the end of each term (two in total).
Students can obtain an carry-over for the exam under the following conditions:
- to be up to date with work during the year: to have returned everything in time, with a sufficient average grade
- to have obtained at least 13/20 in total for the two assessments.
- the grade of the carry-over (adding the two assessments) becomes the final grade for the year.
