Prerequisite Modules:
AR4023
Rationale and Purpose of the Module:
In this module students hone skills in drawing through practising, and form an understanding through application.
Syllabus:
To establish drawing as a tool of observation, a tool of thinking and a tool of representation, this course consists of three different types of drawing exercises:
Surveying using the sketchbook, pencil and the body to observe and record buildings, proportions, scale, and distances of objects.
Surveying using careful notation of dimensions through careful observation, and detailed measuring using a tape measure and triangulation.
Drawing, with pencil, the results of the survey carefully bringing all information to the same level of detail and consistency on a well organised composed drawn document.
Learning Outcomes:
Cognitive (Knowledge, Understanding, Application, Analysis, Evaluation, Synthesis)
By the end of the module students should:
* Be able to use drawing as a tool of observation, exploring of form (and circumstances) through drawing, analysing of form (and circumstances) through drawing.
* Have developed their use of drawing as a conceptual tool, a method of developing a conceptual structure, developing drawing as a form of thought.
* Have developed their use of drawing as a representation tool, expressing own ideas and designs through drawing.
* Understand and master the conventions of architectural representation and demonstrating knowledge of the skills necessary to use these conventions
* Demonstrate development in learning how to properly record and document buildings through observational techniques.

Psychomotor (Physical Skills)

How the Module will be Taught and what will be the Learning Experiences of the Students:
Skills in line drawing, free drawing, and sketching are honed within different practical exercises accompanied by a series of short lectures to deepen knowledge in architectural representation. The primary method will be hand drawing using pencil on white paper.
