Learning outcomes

The student will be able to:

- identify and explain the relationships between objects in space;
- define and to explain the basic concepts of projection (in Monge's method and perspective); 
- present (simple) object in space using the method of orthogonal projection (Monge's method – using top view, front view, side view);
- based on the two (or three) orthogonal projections, to conclude which object in space is it, and to sketch it;
- based on the two orthogonal projections, to (re)construct the object in perspective;
- divide a line according to the golden ratio and apply the ratio of the golden section in other constructions. 

Outline of the course content

Golden section. Curves of the second order. Orthogonal projection (Monge) on two/three perpendicular planes. Perspective.

Aim of course

Developing space perception. Introduction to different methods of presenting 3D situations in two dimensions.
