Course Description:
An introduction to manual drafting convention and methods of manual graphic communication and planning and design representation. Computer graphic instruction by Professor Yilmaz will also be included.
Course Objectives:
● Understanding manual and computer drafting and graphic communication
methods and their integral relationship with the design process
● Understanding the use of drafting and graphic communication to clearly convey
and advocate planning and design solutions for public participation, decision making
and implementation
Skills:
● Quality lettering and drafting
● Ability to illustrate including line hierarchy and quality
● Ability to produce scale plans and drawings in pencil, ink and color
● Ability to develop sheet layouts and design packages
Values:
Through the beginning of a mastering of drafting and graphic tools, you will develop an ability to effectively communicate planning and design, think visually and portray an implementable plan or design solution.
Methods:
This course will be a hands-on drawing and computer graphics studio with built in lectures, demonstrations and student practice. It will be integrated with the work being done in the large scale design studio and the G.I.S. class being taught to the same group of students over the same semester.

Project Marks and Values
There will be class exercises and weekly assignments based on a particular week’s classwork resulting in between 13 and 15 “assignments”. Some of the assignments will involve computer graphic output as well as hand graphics. All assignments must be done and handed in for grading. The student can then select his or her eight best works to be counted for a grade.
During the course of the Design Studio, the student will be applying his or her hand graphics and will submit their “bestwork” for a graphic grade as well. There will be a final project where the student applies the graphic skill that they feel most comfortable with resulting in a plan map or plan/design rendering.
