Means of expression and representation I [ LTARC1122 ]

• Tracing
• Proportions
• Composition
• Orthogonal, cylindrinc, conic projections into observed and projected
• Drawing after observation
• Expressive drawing

By the end of this activity, students should be able to :

• Develop a critical awareness of their relationship to the world
• Represent simple, actual spaces after observation
• Develop skills in spacial conception
• Develop and present a research process

The programme of this course is based ona progressive pedagogical approach that extends over the three years of the bachelor's programme from :
- INITIATION  BAC1
- To FURTHER STUDY  BAC2
- CONFIRMATION BAC3

Activities sahll be suject to continous evaluation. Evaluation criteria are established by the teachers and known to the student at the beginning of the exercice.
The year is divided into as many class periods as themes. Each theme sahll be assessed by a referent teacher.
A more important coefficient is given to the summing-uo exercice, namely the traveling book initiation.

Exercices prioritize creative research without preliminary lecture.
They move back and forth between spatial experiment (reality) and drawing (observation, projetation).
Starting with a collective work, the place in take place in three places and give to an individual work :
- Observation of the real and manipulation
- Analysis of results and theorisation
- Re-experimentation and theory-testing

Experiemnt, analysis, understanding, representation, interpretation of observed and/or throuwn space will be spreaking to the class.
At the same time, the course will allow to test various means and tools of graphic and plastic expression.
