as well as their contents, needs to be rendered both two and three-dimensionally. This is accomplished through using grids, floor plans, and onepoint and two-point perspective drawings. Floor plans help to illustrate a design concept. One-point and two-point perspective grids help bring the designer’s vision into reality. In this hands-on course, students gather reference photos of furniture, accessories, and plants to fill their rooms, and render them in felt-tip markers. Students work in class every session – bring supplies to all class meetings.
