Detailed Description
In this course, students build on the fundamental drawing and media application skills. Perspective drawing and rendering skills are developed in order to clarify and enhance interior decoration concepts in terms of architectural detail, lighting solutions, and furnishing solutions. Texture and material rendition techniques are explored utilizing a variety of media and illustration methods in order to convey the character and functionality within interior settings. The ability to illustrate decor concepts is emphasized and reinforced in this course through lectures, demonstrations, and practical applications in a studio environment. Skills developed through class exercises and assignments provide the foundation to render and communicate decor concepts as a convincing and visually engaging level.
