Course programme
In addition to this, you will learn skills for surveying rooms, drawing plans and developing your ideas on paper to scale. From these initial sketches you will learn how to bring your ideas into ‘reality’, developing 2D and 3D drawing skills. You will also learn how to collect samples of furniture and materials to create a ‘mood board’ and to effectively use texture and pattern as appropriate to give that wow factor.
This will give you the experience and confidence to present and explain your ideas to a client.
You will research and understand historical and cultural influences and will look at the Bauhaus and how such movements have influenced and impacted contemporary design. You will investigate how furniture can act both as design element and practical storage space and develop your spatial awareness.
Through a variety of projects to help develop your ideas from the drawn form, you will be taught how to create and use models to further enhance knowledge of materials, spatial abilities and your finished pieces.
Towards the end of this course you will learn about good design practice and how to work to a client brief. There will be a short introduction to use of AutoCAD and Photoshop, enabling you to decide whether to take further courses in computer design, such as ‘Interior Design using AutoCAD & SketchUp’ course.
