Update 2022-01-21: modified a few notes below as the class is DES 320 starting in Spring 2022, not DES 220. Also, class modality started online moved to in-person in mid-February 2022.
Update 2021-08-22: added timestamps below for a few corrections related to recent changes in the class structure and assignments.
Note: if watching on computer, watch video at high resolution (HD up to 1440) as your connection will allow.
8:10 The discussion about buying a different set of tools for more complex or simpler drawings does not apply anymore starting in Fall 2021. See link below for list of required tools (the compass is required.)
11:27 There is no optional wooden letter drawing this semester, but you are welcome to watch video in the playlist and sketch the letters on your own.
12:39 The compass is again required starting with the Fall 2021 semester.
13:15 The clothespin technical drawings, orthographic and isometric, with tools, are actually optional starting in Fall 2021. These are different from the required clothespin/tape dispenser/lightbulb freehand drawing.
15:02 The 2-point perspective tutorial (the horseshoe shape) is actually the same for everyone.
15:27 The last color perspective drawing is required.
16:49 Get 9x12 paper pads (sketching, drawing, and tracing paper) as soon as possible. Use letter size (8.5x11) in the meantime. Sketching paper provided in class starting in Spring 2022.
20:10 In Fall 2021 the class was bichronous, meeting once a week on zoom. Starting in Spring 2022, the class is hybrid, meeting once a week in-person.
The video is about my art school background and I show a catalog of projects from my high school. The video shows also some of my drawings and sketches and also drawings from a student's portfolio.
