TRANSPORTATION DESIGN
DRAWING workshop

Instructed by Brigid O'Kane

Open to individuals interested in learning how to accurately draw different types of vehicles, and/or students pursuing a career in Transportation Design at the beginning and intermediate levels. This workshop covers the fundamentals of transportation design which when practiced early will greatly enhance students' skills as they develop over time.

The workshops will discuss the role of proportions in different vehicle types and will cover the basics in perspective and drawing vehicles from different viewpoints. Participants will learn techniques used by professionals in the industry to generate drawings that are exciting, dynamic, and accurate. Different types of sketching and how they relate to different phases of the design process will also be discussed.

This is a lecture and hands-on studio workshop.
