FREEHAND DRAWING & VISUALIZATION SKILLS FOR ARCHITECTS

A hands-on drawing workshop to help architects learn to draw with greater skill and confidence.  We will explore comparative drawing techniques (drawing what you see) and imaginative drawing skills (drawing from your ideas).  Be prepared to learn and draw with immediate coaching feedback as you work.  The workshop is broken into two parts.  It is highly recommended you participate in both, but not required. 

With the option of two separate sessions, all registrations must be completed on an individual basis.  Each session will be limited to 20 participants to allow for instructor-student dialogue.

SESSION III:  Analytical drawing, productive doodling skills and exercises, comparative drawing exercises, creating form with light and shadow, simplifying complex form, 3D drawing without perspective.

Friday, March 18th, 4-8 pm  Cost: $75 for 4 hour session

SESSION IV:  Perspective drawing skills, casting shadows, reflection, controlling values, abbreviated drawing techniques, composition, and quick sketch drawing exercises.

Saturday March 19th, 8-noon  Cost: $75 for 4 hour session

Materials: Favorite pens, pencils, and a straightedge for finding vanishing points on an 11” x 17” sheet.  If you have any wireframe models of your projects you would like to work on, bring them in formatted 8.5 x 11 or 11 x 17.  If at all possible bring them as black and white hidden-line drawings.  This is not a requirement, Bruce will have plenty of examples for students to work from.
