Presentation

The course is focused on the fundamentals of drawing, particularly the conventions and practices used in the naval field. It aims to provide students with a deep understanding of representation as a language for effectively formulating different phases of design, both cognitive and propositional.

Objectives and Contents

Educational Objectives

The module aims to deepen the foundations of drawing with particular regard to the conventions and practices used in the naval field. It proposes the interpretation of representation as a language through which to formulate effectively different phases, both cognitive and propositional.

Detailed Educational Objectives and Learning Outcomes

The course starts with the development of the main conventions that regulate graphic expression to then deepen the methods of representation, such as orthogonal projections, axonometric projections, and perspective. The objective is to lead the student to graphic expressive autonomy.

Prerequisites

None

Didactic Methods

The course is organized with a series of lessons that include a first part of theoretical deepening followed by an applicative exercise. Each exercise is handed over by the student and corrected in the next lesson. The final evaluation is based on the average of the votes of the exercises delivered and the vote obtained in a final test.

Program/Content

The program is articulated around the following themes:

• Definitions of conventions and fundamental elements of drawing
• Principles of projective and descriptive geometry
• Orthogonal projections
• Sections and applications such as the Construction Plan
• Axonometry: three-dimensional narratives and formal investigations
• Perspective: project sketch and representation of perceptual aspects

Texts/Bibliography

The reference texts are:

• Boffito Maura, "Dentro la geometria" (Inside Geometry), Graphic Sector
• Boffito Maura, "Teoria e pratica dei metodi di rappresentazione" (Theory and Practice of Representation Methods), Genova, Il Libraccio, 2003

Teachers and Commissions

• Teacher: Maria Elisabetta Ruggiero

Exams

Exam Method

The final exam consists of a drawing test on a theme chosen in advance and agreed upon with the teacher. The final test is aimed at demonstrating the acquisition of the graphic expression ability necessary for the 'visual' narration of a theme.

Assessment Method

The assessment of the acquired abilities is conducted both in itinere with the evaluation of monotematic exercises and with the development of the final test.
