Learning outcomes |
Drawing I/1 Course aims to develop observational skills and the act of drawing as a form of representation, enhancing and fostering students' sensitivity and imagination regarding plastic, icono-plastic, and iconic values of drawing.
Developing observational skills entails knowledge of the responsible perceptual systems as well as understanding the formalization systems of drawing, which serve as privileged means of knowledge and comprehension.
Drawing is recognized as a graphic expression of intentionality, which should seek its foundation in the assimilation and accommodation of knowledge. This knowledge is thus transformed into individual, subjective, and tacit understanding, covering both the heritage of Drawing and Architecture and means of expression. Drawing is learned by drawing, but primarily by reflecting on its practice.

Syllabus |
The specific course contents are incorporated into exercises and approached holistically rather than analytically. However, there is a deliberate trajectory to clarify.
The entire understanding development process (understood also as awareness) typically begins with a spot, a spot that represents the first element in human perceptual organization. All perception is an active process that organizes sensory stimuli into a coherent whole. Neuroperceptive visual and somatic characteristics – the boundaries of reality, visual perception, the somatosensory system and body perception, the role of action in constructing space and its representation – lead us to view the organism (body and mind) as an intentional entity.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The course will involve the development of a set of practical exercises, designed and supervised in class and, if necessary, through telepresence systems. Theoretical support will be provided in accordance with the current exercise.
Exercises will be introduced through a specific statement, describing the objectives, the materials to be used, the format to be presented, and the duration of the exercise.
The exercises will be tailored to the objectives of the course and will consist of 8 main exercises (each lasting 1 to 2 weeks), with additional room for quick, parallel exercises or sketchbook analysis that enable better understanding of the objectives.
The assignments will be presented and discussed in the classroom. There will be three assessment moments where the respective exercises will be presented in an A2-format portfolio and in digital format (PPT or PDF).
Assessment is continuous and may occur either in-person or remotely through computer systems. There is no final exam.
