Main Aims/Objectives

Provide the students ability to use the projective geometry as a representation system, which allows to shift from the three spatial dimensions to the two drawing dimensions and vice versa.
Development of the ability for abstraction.
Development of logical-deductive abilities, especially those related to the perception and representation of shapes and objects in space.

Specific Aims/Objectives

Give the students the ability to discriminate the systems of representation that derive from the cylindrical projection (orthogonal or oblique) and the central projection.

Skills to be acquired

Capacity of perception and representation of shapes, real or imagined, in the spatial context.
Acknowledgment by the students of the role and effectiveness of each one of the representation systems in Descriptive Geometry. Ability to choose the most convenient system of representation, depending on the intended purpose: formal exploration, space exploration or the architectural objects representation.

Teaching Procedures

Often, the imparted knowledge will be applied to real problems, being these practical exercises the privileged base for experimentation and validation of theoretical knowledge.

Programme

LINEAR PERSPECTIVE
Principles. Central projection.
«Perspetógrafo»
Representation of the basic elements: point, line and plan.
Intersections.
Parallelism.
Perpendicularity.
Rotation of plans around fixed axis.
Perspective methods
Inclination´s direction with the perspective board.
Inclination´s circumference and measurement´s circumference of a line.
Circumference and measuring points.
Tracing of shades.

Evaluation Type

The evaluation focuses on the frequency tests and exams, together with two tests that enable the quantification of the evaluation grade. Eventually, the evaluation grade will be complemented with optional graphic works.

Teaching Resources

The teaching material used in class will be relatively few, with the aim of encouraging the ability for abstraction and spatial visualization of the students. Resources will consist primarily in drawings executed in the blackboard and solving some problems in computer. In addition, occasionally, it will be used projected images, and ultimately the using of three dimensional models.
