Master visual thinking and design communication skills that support all other making domains. Learn industrial design sketching, technical drawing, and rapid ideation methods for exploring concepts before committing to fabrication. Practice perspective drawing, product rendering, and design iteration workflows that bridge imagination to physical creation. Develop skills in documenting processes, communicating ideas to collaborators, and thinking through complex spatial and mechanical relationships visually. This foundational skill enables effective planning and communication for every workshop domain.
Drawing, Painting & Visualization
Subskills
Drawing Fundamentals & Mark-Making
Build foundational drawing skills through line quality, value control, and mark-making techniques that form the basis of all visual communication.
