COURSE DESCRIPTION:
|
|
This
is a drawing course designed to teach the student interested in architecture
to recognize and graphically depict forms and textures in the natural and
built environment. Instruction will be given in the use of basic pencil
freehand and hard-line (drafting) drawing. Instruction will be given in the
drawing of orthographic projections as well as in the principles of pictorial
(oblique, isometric and perspective) drawing. Practice in these presentation
techniques will aid the student in the development of an individual rendering
style and will culminate in the composition and execution of a comprehensive
architectural presentation. |

COURSE
POLICY: Student
attendance is required for every session. Special
circumstances will be given consideration if you ascertain the permission of
the professor in advance of the session. Special circumstances will still be
recorded as an absence. Late
arrival and/or early departure from a session is
recorded as an absence. Being late is better than missing a class completely. The
accumulation of (1) absence will result in a report to the Dean of your
respective school. Excessive absence could jeopardize your standing in the
course and could possibly result in your dismissal from the course. If
you are required to miss a class you are responsible for contacting your
professor to obtain the information you missed. Your professor will not
search you out. This is your responsibility |
|
ACADEMIC HONESTY: |
|
Academic
honesty promotes continued academic and occupational success. Maintenance of academic honesty and quality
education is the responsibility of both faculty and students. Any assignment (including those in all
electronic media) submitted by a student must be of the student's original
authorship. Representation of
another's work as his/her own shall constitute
plagiarism. |
