Reference file [Learning Outcome 1]
Research sketchbook evidencing an awareness of a variety of drawing approaches [Learning Outcome 1 &2]
Collection of drawings using a breadth of media and techniques [Learning Outcome 3]

You will be introduced to different approaches to drawing, including the importance and relevance of visual research to the designer. Various drawing methods and mark making techniques will be explored, with attention being paid to scale, colour and composition. You will use both observational and analytical methods of working as a means to express and interpret visual information. You will develop confidence and ability in recognising the design potential in source information and appreciate the importance of this underpinning and heightened awareness in relation to studio practice.
