Aims and objectives
This unit introduces fundamental drawing and rendering skills to facilitate the development and presentation of design ideas. A range of 2D visualisation skills particularly suited to the concept generation stage of the design process will be explored, including perspective drawing, orthographic projection, freehand sketching, quick rendering techniques, exploded views and exploratory sketching.
Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO)
Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO)
Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:
1. Demonstrate freehand line drawing that depicts shape, form and surface finish
2. Produce accurate freehand drawings of various objects and products in perspective, orthographic projection and exploded perspective views
3. Prepare 2D and 3D renderings using techniques for quick marker application, and using highlight, shadows, hues and colour saturation to depict form
4. Apply a range of ideation techniques appropriate for problem solving and creative thinking to their design projects
