OVERVIEW:
Drawing has always been an essential tool for building. In early times, the Master Builder was as adept at design and drawing as he was at the actual building. Most of the world's greatest architectural achievements were by master builders. In the nineteenth century, the architect profession sprung up and created a dichotomy between design and building. Architects designed and contractors built. A strong trend today is Design-Build, where both functions are in the same firm and thus harking back to the days of the Master Builder.
This two-day course will teach the skills to put pencil to paper, the traditional art of drafting. Students will learn about the types of drawing mediums, drafting tools and aids, drawing to scale, the various views, lettering, and drawing conventions. Whether you are making timber frame shop drawings, architectural drawings, or mechanical drawings, this course will serve as a handy introduction.
While some supplies and tools are provided by Heartwood, students are expected to bring a portable drawing board and some drafting equipment.
