GRA 1129 Visualization Basics

In this course students develop a firm understanding of the process of drawing and sketching for ideas, concepts, and creative thinking. Students pursue an understanding of gesture, line, and perspective drawing to develop creative concepts for all media. Students explore the use of shading and tone, recognizing light sources, and working up concept drawings, which will be extremely useful in communicating visual ideas clearly and with speed. Students delve into seeing people and object as they are, not as you think or assume they are, as a primary focus of this course. Additionally, students explore sketching ideas for layouts, logos, storyboards, concept development skills, and presenting their thought processes across interdisciplinary physical media.
