Creating one-point perspective drawing is the bane of first year architecture student's existence. You may ask: Why would you subject yourself to revisiting that trauma? Communicating by sketch is one of the most visceral and enjoyable experiences we can have with clients and collaborators and a skill that must be honed through practice. Despite our flashbacks to first year, and dread, everyone enjoyed this experience and vowed to continue! Next class: Two-point perspective, twice the dread!
One of four weekly workshops on sketching techniques.

After a brief hiatus, sketch sessions returned this month! Our previous sketch sessions typically focused on recording what we saw, in sketch form. This week was a slight departure into the world of Mr. Roger’s ‘Land of Make Believe’. We studied a ubiquitous early 20th century building with a brick storefront façade and explored the possibilities of transforming this drive-by building into something more memorable.
The seventh workshop in our series sought to contrast two methods of subject commonly used in creating art. Whether your work from Reference photos, direct observation, or some hybrid has long been a heated debate. With this workshop, we wanted to explore the various benefits and drawbacks of both methods. Attendees were asked to create two sketches, the first was from a photo reference of a still life scene and the second was from direct observation. During the review at the end of the workshop, the jury remained split on which method they preferred; perhaps this debate will never be settled, but the creative individuals at Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture will certainly continue to search.

Our fifth workshop focused on a technique that lets you approximate and scale objects quickly when creating travel sketches - Point Association. This technique builds on the more rigorous techniques of one and two-point perspective we've practiced in previous workshops. Attendees found this technique intuitive and exciting and can’t wait to get out in to the field and apply it to our fall Sketch Sessions.
