Design Observation Preparation

This class gives you a series of drawing lessons for a skill to observe and describe objects on a paper. Specifically the class focuses on perspective drawing. Perspective drawing is a standard method of “how to draw three dimensional objects and space such as buildings and product designs on two dimensional plane.” You can roughly measure its sizes and its proportions of what you draw by learning perspective drawing.

Computer drawing has been so popular for the last two decades. And it is difficult to attract your clients by presenting your idea with only computer graphics. I have practiced my carrier in design and fine art field. And as long as I have experienced through my carrier, more the computer graphics become popular, a simple pencil drawing get bigger power to attract people.

I regards freehand drawing as a design language to observe and describe what you can not describe by text. The purpose of the class is to provide you a chance to get a skill of hand drawing so that you can use the design language.
In the first lecture, the class gives you a short lecture on the history of the perspective as well.

この授業ではデザインを観察する基本技法であるデッサン力を身につけます．さらに透視図法（遠近法）という一般的な絵の描き方を学ぶ事で，立体物の寸法やプロポーションをおおまかに測って絵に描く事ができる技法を身につけます．

近年コンピュータによるプレゼンテーションが一般化し，「完成予想図」などに用いられるコンピュータグラフィックスの新鮮味がなくなってきています。私がデザイン業務を通して実感する限り，手書きによる描写力はますます重要性を増している，と感じます．また実務において施主との打ち合わせでは手書きでアイデアを絵にして伝える事が効果的であるというのも事実です．

この授業では透視図の基本的な原理を歴史と絡めながら説明し、デッサン（透視図）が空間を観察＆表現する為の言語である事を理解してもらい，ハンドドローイングで描く透視図を修得してもらいます。
