About the teachingarea
In order to understand and ultimately "grasp" the complex methodological issues of the representation technique in the literal sense, they are based on simple but fundamental themes. Only the intensive exploration of a topic by means of drawing and modeling makes one's own creative thoughts visible and tangible. These two areas, drawing and model making, form the core of the representation technique. The graphic representation serves the exchange of information with third parties, the transportation of information. The arc spans from the initial sketch of an idea to the final drawing. Familiar types of illustration such as orthogonal parallel projection, oblique parallel projection and perspective illustration are used. Technical and graphic fundamentals should not be seen as pure knowledge transfer and taught according to a "recipe". The intention is to discover one's own graphic drawing style by means of small drawing exercises. On the basis of given technical information, a drawing is to be developed independently by experimenting, weighing up, discarding, playfully approaching and implementing an idea and continuously developing one's own drawing style.
Technical freehand drawing is and remains an important independent means of expression and, alongside the increasing use of CAD systems, is becoming very important for the very individual presentation and interpretation of the respective subject matter. Learning the free sketching process independently relieves the mind and creates space and inspiration for further ideas. The skillful, simple sketching of factual contexts ultimately leads to a great constructive, creative understanding of how to complete a task as well as to the training and improvement of spatial imagination. This process is significantly supported by the model building that takes place in parallel.
