Ach 111 Intro To Sketching Techniques
The document discusses the importance and techniques of sketching for architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and construction managers. It recommends using a sketchbook to quickly capture ideas and express concepts to others before they are formalized. The document outlines basic sketching tools and techniques, including using different pencil pressures and angles to vary line widths and densities. It introduces the five essential shapes for sketching - curvity, sphere, straight, truncone, and drape - and how to combine them. Contour drawing is described as focusing on overall shape with minimal detail to define proportions while maintaining a single viewpoint.

- 1. Sketching Professor LawrenceKuper© ACH 111- Architectural Design 1
- 2. Why? To quicklyget ideas out of your head and on to paper, so you can remember them later To capture a particular image or mood To express your ideas to others
- 3. Why? Architecture -Express design concepts quickly before they become concrete hard-line drawings
- 4. Why? Interior Design– Create expressive view of the different components of a space
- 5. Why? Landscape Architect– To convey concepts to clients and study possible solutions
- 6. Why? Construction Management– To describe specific details of a problems or opportunities on the job site to the architect or subcontractors.
- 7. Ideas about SketchingRemember that sketching can be done nearly anywhere at anytime. True sketches do not have to be “photo-realistic”, sketches are drawings that describe ideas and moods. Your hand is not a drawing machine, it will need training. Your sketching will improve over time; never remove anything from your sketch book as this reduces your ability to see the progress that is being made.

- 18. Let’s Get Started– Contour Drawing Contour drawing is drawing the outline. This is to focus only on the overall shape of the object. main reason of the drawing is to define the proportions Minimal detail will be represented main reason of the drawing is to define the proportions Select a single viewpoint and stick to it. Sit so that they can reach there paper with minimal movement. Always have their head in the same place whenever they look at the object This will keep the shapes in the same locaton at all times small movement = big differences Professor Lawrence Kuper© ACH 121-Materials and Methods 1
