Content
Drawing skills and the speed in which you get ideas on the page, are still essential skills regardless of the broad digital environment. Conceptualising and communicating ideas in sketch form, through to having the ability to demonstrate a complex idea quickly and easily, drawing is still a process that is valuable to a design thinker. In this unit, students will think fast and draw fast with work completed in class time. There will be time to choose your best ideas and develop them further as folio pieces but the challenge in this unit will be to conceptualise ideas and put them on paper maximising this most essential communication tool.
