| Course Objectives: | Drawing should be designated as a modality of thinking other than being encompassed by given talent which is technical or artistic or both. In other words, visual thinking is a specific language that is constituted by mostly lines that can attain different qualities.

For this purpose, studio sessions will be held for primary information exchange and outdoor exercises will be performed on specific urban sites. |
