About this Event
Course aims
Would you like to be able to draw buildings and streets for pleasure or for work?
This one day drawing course is aimed primarily at town planners, urban designers or simply architectural or urban design enthusiasts who have little or no hand drawing experience.
The objective is to teach attendees the foundations of hand drawing specifically for urban planning and design work. With these foundations in place, delegates should be more confident in producing their own hand drawings for meetings, presentations, design codes and planning documents.
The course will be led by architectural technician, Mark Shepherd.
Afterwards
The course includes a month of feedback time where delegates can submit their work for evaluation and critique and will hopefully encourage an ongoing process of improvement.
