Abstract Details

2012, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Industrial, Interior Visual Communication Design.
Over the past two decades, computers and advancements in software have revolutionized the Industrial Design process. Designers are able to accelerate the development schedules for products by utilizing the same software for design and visualization as engineers use for implementation. Two-dimensional rendering software has become so advanced and intuitive that photorealistic images of a design are generated to help the client believe the product has already been manufactured. The design industry is facing a growing problem, however, as students, required to learn more skills than ever before, are not gaining the drawing skills preferred by or needed for professional practice. Curricula once structured for sketching, rendering and technical drawing have been superseded by Computer Aided Design and graphic courses. Exacerbating the issue are challenges in standardizing Industrial Design curriculum across the spectrum of design schools; as a result students are graduating with a wide range of less-than-ideal skill sets. (Amit, 2010) This thesis will examine the phenomenon of drawing in the design process and propose a new concept for drawing pedagogy that may augment or replace existing curricula to accelerate acquisition of design drawing skills and more fully prepare the student for the design profession.
