This course aims to deepen your understanding of space and structure in drawing, through two dimensional and three dimensional approaches. The course starts with learning and employing different techniques and strategies to create impressions and levels of space in drawing, such as depth of space, negative space, and layering techniques. You will also explore movement through space, scale and mass and develop large scale atmospheric spatial drawings from off-site drawing work.
