It provides students with the opportunity to develop personal styles of drawing that can be applied in further Design units. Students are introduced to the history of drawing as a representational practice, including the invention of perspective drawing and its effects on the development of technologies. They will also examine developments in technology that extend the practice of drawing into the digital realm.
