Creative Drawing and Architecture

This structured, high-energy course develops your basic to intermediate drawing and sketching skills.  Exercises and projects lead to understanding and applying perspective drawing, sketch concepts, including the “figure-ground” concept, and compositional strategies.  A variety of creative freehand techniques develop your approach to architectural and figurative drawing.  Class work includes some drawing of the human figure for scale and context.

Drawing Architecture is a special category within the subject of drawing.  Treating architectural subjects creatively requires an awareness of architectural ideas, as well as knowledge of the various ‘ways of seeing’ and the drawing types related to them. Participants will go through Ten Ways of Seeing and Drawing (gesture, contour, mass, space, tonality, silhouette, figure-ground, light-shadow, perspective, composition) and learn to utilize them with architectural subjects.

The goal is to be able to draw ‘creatively’ by using these modes as a photographer might layer filters to make more inspired images. This course is of value to anyone interested in drawing architecture, whether as part of an art form in itself, as an aid to design or as portfolio preparation for application to design programs, such as architecture, planning or interior design programs, etc. We will study buildings and spaces, both interior and urban, ancient and contemporary.

1 – Gesture & Contour

Gesture & Contour: The first two sessions will be an overview of the course, which is based on 10 Ways of Seeing and Drawing: Gesture, Contour, Mass, Space, 2D Shape, Figure-Ground, Stepped Tonality, Light-Shadow, Perspective, Composition.

We will ALSO look at using various materials, such as compressed charcoal, conte, and soft pencils, to create interesting marks and effects useful for drawing.

2 – Gesture & Contour Cont.

Gesture & Contour (continued) – Contour, meaning to draw the lines seen in a subject with enhanced tactile content. This is done by creating the strong belief that you are ‘touching’ the object edges with finger tips or surfaces with flats of fingers. This “intention or belief” is imprinted into the marks and then on to the viewer.  Edges (imagine finger tips touching). These marks are seen as lines; For surfaces (imagine finger flats touching). These become smooth or rough textured surfaces.

***Watch video:    VIDEO ON LINEWEIGHTS      Lineweights {Nov 2016}

Lineweights matter in ‘communication’ with the viewer. Generally we prefer to look at a ‘line enhanced’ drawing largely because of its communicative power. This video shows a systematic way of enhancing lines.

Lineweight Assignment:  Draw some abstract objects/shapes as in the video. Apply lineweight strategy to enhance object with the 4 types of weights described in the lesson demo: Draw object lines first;  then darken ‘flylines’; next apply  joint lines; and finally apply  textures, such as woodgrain, to some surfaces.
