Learn how drawing can be most effective in the design process. Representing design ideas using software is commonly required, but what do we call those drawings? This course introduces you to the vocabulary of representing 3-D environments. You gain the ability to identify view types and know what to ask for from modeling software. You also develop your manual drawing style as you make your own perspective drawings. You gain hands-on experience drawing interiors in some of the most commonly occurring formats, not using lines that machines do best, but in your own hand.
Prerequisites: Design Communication I ARCH X486.1

Is This Course Right for You?
For anyone curious about perspective drawing, this is a non-overwhelming introduction to the concept and its role in communication of design ideas. Design professionals looking to reinforce their manual skills can find encouragement and instruction in efficient freehand techniques. Students in the Interior Design and Interior Architecture Certificate Program will find this a natural follow-up to an introduction to drafting.
