  • Visualize form and design concepts by means of freehand sketches.
  • Reflect on how different levels of sketches and visualization influence discussions in a development project.
  • Use different techniques for freehand sketches and describe their advantages and disadvantages.
  • Describe how digital techniques can be used for sketching and visualization.
