Course Objectives: 
The intention of this lecture is to develop improved visualization abilities for students, transformation of visual images and transformation of those images into drawing skills. Learning how to draw better begins with learning how to see clearer. Students will practice and develop a series of drawing methods and techniques in the context of the interior architectural design process, even practices that work in solving design problems. Emphasis will be on the development of free-hand drawing and drafting skills that enhance the ability of the designer in communicating conceptual ideas, especially the role of working design experiments on paper. Lecture includes use sketching as a method of improving the way one sees things and enhancing one’s thinking in graphic terms .
Course Content: 

Sketching is the ability to visualize and transfer vision from mind to hand and finally to paper. Sketching is an important part of the interior architecture process as a place where new ideas are chosen. Students will develop skills in observing, perceiving and competently documenting space to better understand architecture and the built environment. Buildings and interiors of historical or contemporary architectural significance around the city will also be the source of inspiration. It is within the scope of the course to transfer the thought dimension of a design to paper and to reveal all the preliminary works that can be the basis of the design with the free hand sketching technique.
