Graphic Fundamentals

This introduction is aimed at showing students and practitioners of the spatial arts how to increase the speed and accuracy of their drawing through the effective use of grids. With clear examples and practical applications, Martha Sutherland poses specific design problems and offers a variety of solution based on her own vast experience and the work of her students. The book demonstrates how to make plans, elevations, and section drawings look more realistic by employing grids to construct two-dimensional projections. Readers also learn how to make three-dimensional images from one- and two-point, interior and exterior perspectives, as well as how to incorporate such non-traditional approaches as glide projection and no-point perspective in drawings.
