Credit: .50
Length: Semester
Fee: $11/Sem
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course continues study of the art principles of space, scale & perspective learned in Foundation classes. Students learn to draw interior spaces and exterior structures. Students also design floor plans, construct models, and utilize 3-D modeling apps. A historical overview of architecture and application of drawing with design skills will develop a deeper understanding of structures. Students will document ideas, process, problems, and solution in a sketchbook. Coursework is beneficial to students interested in careers in architecture, engineering, interior design, and industrial design.
