Summary
The course of Architectural Drawing 2 is a follow-up to Architectural Drawing 1 and deepens the dexterity of basic drawing and displaying
methods for designing and studying existing objects. Students practice spatial imagination, techniques of drawing by coal,
pastel and linear drawing technique.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Further work with the geometric form - , cube and sphere (deformation by bending, compression, multiplication, cut by the resulting body and
transforming these shapes with perspective).
Abstract composition, open and closed shape, rhythm, multiplication, structure.
2. Analysis of organic shape (geometrization of individual parts and structure of surface, multiplication of geometric shape leading to building
organic structures).
3. Study drawing of the figure (basic reduction of complicated organic shape into the surface, perception of the whole and proportions, progress from whole to
possible detail)
4. Work with color in building geometric object. Ways of building space and volume of paint, finding ways to work with
by color enabling quick visualization of the plastic shape and exploring the effect of color on spatial relationships in drawing.
5. open air drawing of architecture.
Course Contents
1) Further work with the abstract shape of the plate, cube and sphere (deformation by bending, compression, multiplication, section of the resulting body and the transformation of these shapes from perspective).

Abstract composition, open and closed shape, rhythm, multiplication, structure.

2) Analysis of organic shape (geometrization of individual parts and surface structure, multiplication of geometric shape leading to the building of organic structure).

3) Study drawing of the figure (basic reduction of a complicated organic shape into a surface, perception of the whole and proportions, progress from the whole to a possible detail)

4) Working with color when building a geometric object. Ways of building the space and volume of drawing with color, finding ways to work with color allowing quick visualization of plastic shape and examining the influence of color on spatial relationships in drawing.

5) Drawing of architectural forms in the open air.
