This course introduces the idea of rough sketching as a communication tool rather than a fine art. Designers can easily find inspiration at any moment. Napkin sketches represent the visualization of spur of the moment inspiration, allowing for the rapid exploration of thoughts and ideas. This approach to drawing aids the expression of feelings, ideas, and even philosophies to others. It is a process that illustrates how people think, what is important to them, and the spirit of their thoughts. This communication tool is often the basis for turning ideas into more meaningful works of art and design. [Core Curriculum Goal Area 6]
