A course by Pavel Fomenko , Architect and concept developer
About the video: The Idea
Overview
“Just like any other creative activity, drawing thrives on the notion of complete enjoyment. You write a book you WANT to write, make a movie that you WANT to make, play the music that you WANT to play, or drive a car the way you WANT to drive it. Your drawing has a purpose and that purpose is underpinned by the idea of what you want to express. Hence you choose the idea you WANT to show and enamor with, so the process of expressing it becomes enjoyable. In this lesson, you will learn how to define and imagine your idea on the basis of the proposed design for a residential high-rise building.”
In this video lesson Pavel Fomenko addresses the topic: The Idea, which is part of the Domestika online course: Architectural Drawing: From Imagination to Conceptualization. Learn to amplify your ideas with architectural geometry, three-dimensional thinking, and drawing techniques.
