Visual literacy is the ability to interpret, negotiate, and make meaning from information presented in the form of an image.
In this class, we will learn how to create line drawings and images. You will do that in CAD but more importantly you need to learn how to use your own eyes to study objects, drawings and designs. You eyes are an amazing gift and by using them as instruments of analysis you can solve problems and see the world around you much more clearly. It is critical to learn to look slowly and carefully.
