Course detail
Geometric Objects Drawing
FSI-YKG Acad. year: 2024/2025 Winter semester
The course focuses on the drawing of geometric objects, which is the basis for most of the units depicted. The drawing of objects according to a model in corner or central perspective is clearly defined by contour lines and horizon, moving from the linear contour drawing of individual solids to more complex assemblages, including self and cast shadows.

Only basic theoretical and practical knowledge of perspective representation and experience with drawing from non-artistic secondary schools are assumed.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Graded course-unit credit requirements: Attendance at exercises, meeting assigned projects deadlines. Resulting evaluation consists of evaluations on tasks (drawings). In total it will be possible to aquire 100 points. Resulting classification will be defined by the ECTS scale.
According to the article No. 13 of Study and Examination Rules of Brno University of Technology ECTS evaluation degree scale is used. The course is evaluated with the following grades: ECTS EVALUATION DEGREES / PTS. RATING / NUMERIC RATING: A / 100 – 90 / 1 / Excellent; B /89 – 80 / 1,5 / Very good; C / 79 – 70 / 2 / Good; D / 69 – 60 / Satisfactory; E / 59 – 50 / Sufficient; F / 49 – 0 / 4 / Failed.
Compulsory attendance at seminars. Education runs according to the week schedule. The way of compensation of missed seminars is specified by the tutor.
Aims
The aim of the course is to gaining skills to spatial depiction of a simple mass with emphasis on the correct realization of proportions. Attention is paid to the perspective projection and following its principles in drawing. Obtaining basic knowledge of drawing technique by drawing geometric objects and objects corresponding to basic geometric bodies. Gaining knowledge of perspective projection principles, correct realization of proportions and shading.
