Objectives of the Course The aim of this course is to introduce students to tools and techniques of linear expression, enabling them to apply light and shadow, texture, and perspective rules in creating volume and mass studies. Students will learn to analyze the relationships between organic and geometric forms and express them linearly, while developing the ability to create drawings with correct proportions in studies of human anatomy and form. Additionally, the course aims to help students express relationships between figure, object, and space using different techniques and materials.
Course Content The course begins by introducing tools and techniques of linear expression. Students will create volume and mass studies by applying light and shadow, texture, and perspective rules. The focus will be on analyzing the relationships between organic and geometric forms and expressing them linearly. Studies of human anatomy will help students create drawings using correct proportions. Different techniques and materials will be used to express the relationships between figure, object, and space.
Course Methods and Techniques The course will be conducted in two main parts: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part will cover linear expression, light and shadow, and perspective rules, while the practical part will focus on expressing relationships between figure, object, and space through drawing. Students will analyze the relationships between organic and geometric forms and improve their drawing skills through hands-on projects. Group work, individual projects, and in-class discussions will foster critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills.
