creatively visualising ideas.

What to expect
Explore drawing techniques for visualising and communicating information, observing imaginatively and capturing ideas.
Over three weeks you will learn how to draw isometric projections, elevations, diagrams and maps to capture and codify elements of human behaviour.
Session One – Isometric sketching:
Use crating, estimating, and isometric grids to make 2d and 3d sketches of geometric forms and chairs in the museum’s collection.
Session Two – Diagramming:
Working with techniques for thinking up and illustrating ‘how to’ process-based diagrams. Understand and apply hierarchy in visual explanations, experiment with time narratives.
Session Three – Idea-capture:
Use sketch-note, cartography and novel observation techniques to examine underlying patterns of human and other behaviours. Produce a map of your investigations.
Participants will also have free access to The Drawing Gym’s online Foundation course resources, including exercises and worksheets for the duration of this course.
