Course contents:

The subject leads students to the basic theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to master drawing. Attention is paid to drawing geometric objects and products in perspective view according to the model. The work proceeds from the elementary sketch depicting the basic structure to the final representation of the model. The practiced method of correct recording of reality is the reduction of the source object into basic geometric figures, taking into account the principles of perspective representation.
