LARP 542 - Media II:Digital Visualization:AutoCAD

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Faculty. Continuing the sequence of Landscape Architecture Media classes, this course will develop the student's aptitude for working with digital media in creative and effective ways. While the course will devote time to learning the necessary techniques and skills to work with a variety of visualization software, the primary focus throughout will be on the development of a critical eye - that is, the capacity to discern between visual economies of means (saying much with little) and visual noise (or imprecise excess). Just as in a drawing class, one must learn not only the techniques of rendering but also the skill of visual judgement and discernment. The course will begin by introducing 2-D digital presentation techniques, primarily as afforded by AutoCAD and the more fluid Adobe Illustrator. Students will then progress to working with some advanced imaging techniques inAdobe Photoshop. The final section of the course will concentrate on working fluently and in an integrated way amongst each of these three programs, developing imaginative potentials within each.
