Design Discovery 2016 - Day 3: Drawing Exercises (Class and Bell Pepper Study)

Sunday started out with the students being treated by a drawing lesson presented by Prof. Zulaikha Ayub and Prof. Jeff Roberson. They introduced students to the basics of understanding the methods of which architect’s typically draw. The lesson was followed by a session of drawing a bisected pepper, using the methods that the two professors taught them.

What is involved in the professions of Architecture and Interior Design? What do design students study while in college? How can a person best prepare for an education in these fields? Many people who think about architecture or interior design have these or similar questions that should be answered before they make a decision about their career. Although we are all affected daily by the built environment, design education and the professions of architecture and interior design are often not fully understood by prospective students.

The College of Architecture Art + Design (CAAD) at Mississippi State University is offering an eight-day summer workshop that is intended to answer many of the questions about architecture and interior design as a field of study and as a profession. The major goal of the workshop is to simulate the information, skill and the intensity required for a design education, while providing a clear insight into the practice. With this experience it will be possible for the participants to make an informed career decision about architecture and its related disciplines.
