Introduction
“It taught me that there are three versions of things: the one I see in my mind, and the one
that carries onto the paper, and then what it ultimately becomes.”
Lauren DeStefano, Sever
Objectives
• Identify the fundamental principles, elements and techniques in drawing, design
process and drawing presentation skills.
• Demonstrate observation skills and be able to record, organize, interpret and
describe a variety of issues via visual communications effectively.
Learning Outcome
• Identify the type of drawing representation
Tasks
1. Individual student required to chosen 2 objects and objects chosen must not be smaller
than A5. Students are to sketch and conduct measurement of chosen objects. Objects
chosen must consists a minimum of 3 different geometries surfaces. This would be included
in the progress sheets submission that must be signed by respective tutors.
2.Then by using book references/ classroom tutorial, independently you are to explore the
applications of Drawing Conventions and using the measurement from the observation you
are to generate architectural drawings that clearly expressing the 3 dimensional objects.
2. Required Drawings:
1. ONE plan
2. TWO elevations
3. TWO sections
4. ONE detail drawing
5. ONE cover drawing
Each drawing must be legible and need to be completed with: Drawing details & information,
Subtitle and Annotations/Note-taking. Incomplete work will receive marks of C- or below.
Each drawing must have an appropriate SCALE. You are required to take/make notes
based on your understanding of architectural drawings’ convention requirements to visualize
the selected objects. The notes/annotations must be included as part of the drawings
requirement and written clearly and neatly in the drawings. At all-time proper architectural
lettering is mandatory.
Materials/Equipment
It is your responsibility to bring all necessary tools to facilitate your measurement, drawing
and note-taking. Suggested drawing tools: A3 Paper (120 gm drawing paper or better);
Butter paper; Art line pens (0.1, 0.3 & 0.5); Pencils (2B); Soft Eraser; Flexible Eraser;
Erasing Shield; Architectural Scale Ruler; Set-square, T- Square or Parallel Ruler.
Plagiarism will be taken as a serious case and will result in failure of the subject
Submission Requirement
Individual student required to submit the progress sheets that would consist a class activity
drawings as well as :
• Draft drawings of the chosen 2 objects (at least 2 pages/object– exploration
sketches)
• Measurements of the chosen 2 objects (1 page) These progress sheets must be
stapled and signed by your respective tutors
• Progress sheets would be in the form of A4 butter papers
Then by using book references/ classroom tutorial, independently you are to explore the
applications of Drawing Conventions and using the measurement from the observation you
are to generate architectural drawings that clearly expressing the 3 dimensional objects in
sets of A5 drawings, submitted in a set, according to a suggested packaging design
3. Required Drawings per object:
1. ONE plan
2. TWO elevations
3. TWO sections
4. ONE detail drawing
5. ONE cover drawing
