Synopsis:

The aim of teaching the subject is to acquire basic skills in creating and using manual three-dimensional drawing at such a level that this skill becomes a usable communication tool for further study and practice in the field of Scenic Technology.

Students will become familiar with the graphic representation of geometric shapes, followed by more complex shapes of various structures and character. With various expressive drawing techniques. They will get to know the basic principles and types of composition, as well as the theory of colors and their use for different situations.

They will get to know the basic rules of graphic editing when presenting photos in combination with text.

Requirements:

Active attendance and work in the course. The following must be submitted for work evaluation by the specified deadline:

a/ poster 297 x 840 mm (or 2×A3 vertically on top of each other) presenting a selection of drawings from the semester with descriptions of individual topics

execution method: good quality print of a form of a collage of copies, or of an output from some computer graphics program

b/ Stapled (ring-bound) A3 pad with original sketches from the semester. It must contain the title page, topics and exercises of all lessons of the subject.

3 excused absences are allowed, the student must complete the missed exercises by self-study and consult with the teacher.

Drawing according to reality - drawings of a set of geometric objects.

3/

a/ Drawing according to reality: drawing according to more complex objects of different materials, structures, using different drawing techniques

4/

Axonometry / isometry and its importance for practice

Drawing simple and more complex geometric and amorphous shapes in isometry. Importance of auxiliary drawing construction
