COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Illustrate, in pencil, various materials, and the Chief Architect application, textures and finishes used in interior design.

2. Apply the principles of light, shade, and shadow to perspective drawings of interior spaces and objects.

3. Explain the uses of perspective drawings and renderings in the practice of interior design.

 

Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Draw a simple one and two-point perspective of an interior space.

2. Use the Chief Architect application to develop an interior space with furniture.

3. Draw simple perspective sketches of furniture and decorative accessories.

4. Illustrate a 1/4-inch scale floor plan and elevation of a simple interior with furniture and accessories, rendered in pencil.

5. Construct a mechanically scaled one-point and two-point perspective drawing of a simple form from plans and elevations.

6. Apply color markers and color pencils to a black and white illustration for dramatic effect and to communicate a design idea.
