Field sketching is closely connected to the education of architects and designers. Through this medium, we can deconstruct complex facades, analyze assembly and proportional systems, express the attributes of a particular place, and translate observations onto paper. The class will seek to help students think through drawing, employ sketching as an analytical tool for learning, and continue to enrich the tradition of field sketching.
This is a field sketching course, exploring Toronto architecture. All 6 classes will be held at 'Covid permitting' locations (with washroom access).
Spring 2021: 6 Weeks: Tuition: $295
Please Note: Due to COVID-19, special policies and regulations will apply. Students must be in agreement with these health and safety regulations and TSA policies in order to enrol.
