Course Description

Industrial Design Drawing introduces you to methods of drawing for concept development and for the communication of design ideas. With a particular emphasis on learning how to think iteratively through the act of drawing, this course aims to build a broad confidence and capability in this fundamental technique. Through manual and digital methods of drawing you will develop a capacity to: interpret and develop form; relate forms drawn to the human figure, to space and light; and to express through drawing how the form might perform.


Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

In this course you will develop the following program learning outcomes:

Articulate complex design ideas to diverse audiences through an advanced and adaptable repertoire of communication strategies and technologies.

Initiate, plan, manage and execute research and design projects with independence and in an objective and ethical manner.

Reflect on own learning and the efficacy of design decisions made, adapting to needs and issues as they arise, and continuously seeking improvement.


Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

1) Demonstrate a working capacity with variety of design drawing techniques for generating and communicating complex forms and assemblies.

2) Demonstrate, through practice, an understanding of the theoretical principles that underpin drawing including: construction geometries, perspective, light and shadow, colour and composition.

3) Confidently apply drawing as key a mode of thinking through design problems in order to generate communicative and accurate visualisations.


Overview of Learning Activities

You will be actively engaged in practical learning supported by a range of face to face and/or online activities such as lectures, tutorials, group and class discussions, and activities in specialist workshops and labs. The technical knowledge and skills you are to develop through practice in this course will require you to undertake and manage your own skills development in a self-directed manner.


Overview of Learning Resources

RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through our online systems.

To effectively participate in coursework, either on or away from campus, you are advised to obtain (as a minimum) the following:
