REPRESENTATION / DRAWING 5
Year Last Offered:
2025/6
Hours Per Week:
Grading Type:
N
Prerequisite Modules:
AR4024
Rationale and Purpose of the Module:
In this module students are introduced to the computer and related modes of representation, in conjunction with continuing studies in hand drawing. Switching between virtual and analogue modes of representation, e.g. models, drawings, digital photography, photoshop, illustrator, and other graphics programmes will be explored as tools of transformation and spatial, logical, and structural exploration.
Syllabus:
Widening the pallet of modes of representation that the student must master, drawing is taught as a tool of observation, a tool of thinking and a tool of representation, this course consists of three different types of drawing exercises:
Moving actively between analogue and digital modes of representation, students will develop their ideas between media, exploiting the most powerful aspects of each in terms of their design. Students will develop in parallel their hand drawings skills.
Learning Outcomes:
Cognitive (Knowledge, Understanding, Application, Analysis, Evaluation, Synthesis)
By the end of the module students should:
* Be able to use various modes of digital representation including a number of crucial applications and their function such as Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator.
* Be able to work between digital and analogue modes of representation
* Have developed their use of 2 dimensional representation and drawing as a conceptual tool, a method of developing a conceptual structure, developing drawing as a form of thought.
* Have developed their use of 2 dimensional 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

Psychomotor (Physical Skills)

How the Module will be Taught and what will be the Learning Experiences of the Students:
Moving actively between analogue and digital modes of representation, students will develop their ideas between media, exploiting the most powerful aspects of each in terms of their design. Students will develop in parallel their hand drawings skills.
