design: 1. to prepare the preliminary sketch or the plans for (a work to be executed), esp. to plan the form and structure. intent, aim, devise, project, conceive in the mind, contrive.
I give this lecture to my sophomore students in the Visual Communication I class. I compare the art/drawing process with the design process. It is very similar. The goals are essentially the same, only the means are different. The students are familiar to drawing, at least a form of (self) expressive drawing taught in the freshman year. Analytic form drawing is new to them. I start with a pressure release pressure technique developed at the Kunstgewerbeschule of Basel. This method begins to sensitize the hand to the paper. The first drawing is a simple line composition. The second drawing is a square, then a square in space, circle in space, cube, and a cylinder. |
