Sketching Phenomena

Enrollment limited: first come, first served
Signup by: 15-Dec-2001
Limited to 20 participants.
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Prereq: No artistic or technical ability is required
The sketch is the most expressive drawing; it is not meant to produce anything but one’s own clarification. The sketch is a way of thinking, a way of seeing, and a way of understanding the physical world in which we operate. It is a very personal, powerful, and analytical design tool. This course is grounded on the concept of understanding through doing. It is intended as a self-inquiry to explore and develop the skills of the individual through a set of diverse sketching exercises. Each session will focus on a different phenomenon (from sound to surface), with an emphasis on the 3-dimensional sketch. Students requested to finance own materials and local travel.
