COLOR THEORY AND CAD
The main objective of this subject is to introduce color schemes and then its applications to draw compositions and layouts.
Learning outcome:
Students will be able to:
- Illustrate the principles of creating an effective color schemes and applythemto draw compositions and layouts.
- Use fundamental co-ordinate systems and drawing commands of Autocad.
- Creating and editing different 2D objects, filling patterns, attaching text, learning to apply dimensions and layers.
- Design and develop 3D models.
Learning and teaching strategies:
Approach in teaching: Interactive Lectures, Discussion, Reading assignments, Demonstrations, Group activities, Teaching using advanced IT audio-video tools
Learning activities for the students: Self-learning assignments, Effective questions, Seminar presentation, Giving tasks.
Assessment Strategies:
