Drawing Course
Casa da Arquitectura's Drawing Course is an invitation to all beginners, practitioners and lovers of drawing to experiment with other ways of observing and representing. A number of drawing themes will be explored in depth over the course of 8 carefully planned monthly modules, with the aim of strengthening each participant's representation skills.
From Industrial to Mechanical Design
From design objects to mechanical machines, we'll explore axonometric representation and geometric drawing.
The Natural World - from the microscopic scale to the landscape
We focus on the representation of the organic, from detail drawing to landscape drawing.
Drawing Space - from the interior to the exterior
We'll learn the characteristics of perspective drawing in architecture, from the inside out.
Drawing the Body - from detail to movement
We'll start by observing the skeleton and musculature of the human body, and then unleash our gesture with movement.
