Course Description

This course begins exploring drawing techniques necessary to perform tasks related to communicating design concepts in landscape design. The emphasis is on easy, time-saving techniques that build from understanding perspective to rapid sketching skills. Field sketching is also a vital communication skill in environmental design, as it enables designers to quickly record ideas whether simply for their own use, or to share with a client to gather early feedback on usability, form, and aesthetic. Using both indoor and outdoor venues around the campus, students will learn to communicate their thoughts visually and integrate their sketching into the design process.
