After successful completion of the course, students are able to draw the appearance of spatial objects freehand from their imagination. They optimize their drawings in several rounds: 1 Holistic imagination2 Critique of the own result using geometrical methods3 Control by comparison with direct view (if possible)
Methods will be presented and practiced, to draw spatial geometry (and light effects) constructively in axonometry and perspective. The objective is the skill to visualize fluidly in a design process.
Practical Exercises and Lectures (public drawing under a video camera), personal corrections conversations
Most important: practice! Draw fluently and constantly!
Program at the first assignment of the subject (not necessarily related to the nominal course number 1 or 2!):Successive teaching of solutions to geometric drawing problems In weekly practice units, a task is set, whose methodical coping is (time-lapsed, after student processing) frontally practically demonstrated. The units are documented and commented in a logfile ("Protokoll", in TUWEL). They should be also absorbed at home. An arsenal of methods is available in TUWEL. Many of these were developed by the lecturer specifically for freehand drawing.
Program if the subject is chosen for another semester (not necessarily related to the nominal course number 1 or 2!):What has been learned in the previous semester program should be now applied to one's own subjects (analytical representations of existing spatial objects or architecture, optimization of design sketches)
The lectures in which problems of space representation are demonstratively solved in public drawing sessions will be supplemented by selected, pre-recorded lectures of past semesters and on-screen presentations published in TUWEL.
Personal corrections conversation(s) while reviewing your portfolio (with many drawings. Loose leaves are recommended! Every important exercise topic must have been treated.)
