Course Objective

The objectives of this course are to introduce basic drawing techniques, to improve the perceiving, analyzing and commentate ability of students and also to upskill them two and three dimensional expression techniques.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Perceive the line as a basic element of architectural drawings and its potentials through applications in courses.
2   Learn the drawing techniques in two and three dimensions such as plan, section, facade and isometric perspective and apply on different models.
3   Gain the ability of expressing the basic design objects in two and three dimensions.
4   Learn the use of colors, which is one of the architectural design elements, and use them.
5   Using the architectural and graphical presentations techniques totally for expressing the design ideas and design productions.

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

Courses / Application: At the first parts of lectures, instructors will make presentations or assessments on the defined topic. Students will make drawings and colorful compositional design practices as class-works that make them apply the knowledge given. Students practices will be directed by the course instructors.
Homework: Students will make homeworks similar the class-work samples and also complete the class-work according the critics in class. They will submit all of them next week.
