Abstract


The ability to draw and make fast sketches is very important in the design process. In our faculty, before passing to computer aided design lessons, there are only three hours a week dedicated to drawing classes. These take place in the first two semesters. Usually students come in the first year of study with different training levels. Our aim is to teach all of them the required drawing skills they will need in their future profession. Diverse backgrounds and insufficient time don’t allow us to reach the desired levels with all of the students.The paper presents an experimental approach through teamwork in order to determine the students to draw better, faster and more efficient, using various styles of representing an object or interior. One of the main results was that after just one experimental three hour lesson, their progress was visibly higher than in weeks of standard classes.
