Perspective Sketching for Interior Design CE404WDR

This course meets online via zoom on Mondays starting October 5th from 6-8pm for 6 weeks.

Interior Perspective Sketching is a six-week studio course designed to develop the essential hand-sketching skills interior designers use to communicate spatial ideas clearly and effectively. Open to students of all drawing abilities, the course provides a structured progression from foundational perspective principles to refined presentation techniques.

Through lectures, demonstrations, guided studio practice, and critiques, students will explore spatial observation, proportion, one- and two-point perspective, foreshortening, furniture construction, light and shadow, and material expression. Emphasis is placed on understanding space and translating three-dimensional environments into confident, expressive drawings.

Students will develop a practical workflow for moving from quick conceptual sketches to more refined presentation drawings. By the end of the course, students will be able to construct convincing interior spaces, integrate furniture and architectural elements, and use line, tone, light, shadow, and material cues to create visual depth and atmosphere.

The course culminates in a fully developed interior perspective drawing that demonstrates accurate spatial construction, composition, furniture placement, lighting, material indication, and visual storytelling.

How do the LIVE VIA ZOOM online courses work?

Structure: Students interact live their instructor and fellow classmates during their scheduled sessions via zoom. Some courses include assignments for students to complete between sessions which may have due dates that require course participation during the week. In some courses, projects and visual presentations may be required.

Schedule: Please check the course description for exact course dates and times. Students must log into the zoom meeting to attend their scheduled session but do not need a zoom account. Instructors often record course meetings, if you know you are going to miss a session, please let your instructor know ahead of time.

Time commitment: The time that you spend working on your online course will vary based on the number of assignments.
