Image by: @subpoprecords
Hi there!
Drawing is civilization’s most simple and natural forms of art. But isn’t drawing only for artsy-types?
No. It is for everyone!
With this in mind, we challenge everyone to develop one drawing to “represent” an iconic architecture piece – FALLINGWATER, by Frank Lloyd Wright.
WHY PARTICIPATE:
– Our very special list of prizes.
– Gain experience and recognition, request a participation certificate, and post it on your Linkedin or CV!
– Design a new puzzle piece to be added to your Portfolio or Behance page, keep developing your assets!
– Give space to your creativity by solving a given challenge, it is satisfying!
– Get to know better your team or your own design-thinking skills, it is fun!
If after all this you are still in doubt, here are a couple of articles to give you the motivation you need:
1. 10 CREATIVE DRAWING STYLES FOR ARCHITECTS
Each DRAWING is a story. The mediums and tools we use to design each tell a different story, and in turn, shape our work. Whether you’re practising sketching, realistic renders, or technical drawings, each style creates its own narrative.
2. PETER COOK ON HOW DRAWING ENABLES ARCHITECTS TO LEARN, COMMUNICATE AND EXPERIMENT
The architect Peter Cook discusses the importance of drawing in the ARCHITECTURAL world. He compares drawing to new computer-based techniques, arguing that while software can do amazing things, drawing allows the architect to learn, communicate and experiment in a way that is irreplaceable.
3. DRAWING IS SO POWERFUL, AND WHY EVERYONE MUST DRAW
While the world becomes increasingly wired, hectic, and turbulent, drawing remains the purest form of self-expression. No filters, No Apps, No technology, No photoshop, Just you. Focus on expressing yourself, not an end product. Focus on CREATING.
4. WHY PEOPLE BELIEVE THEY CAN’T DRAW
Most people think they can’t draw, but communications expert Graham Shaw isn’t buying it. In this fun, instructional TALK, he demonstrates how a few adjustments to your drawing technique (and your attitude) can leave you with an effective new presentation tool as well as an outlet for your creativity.
Stay creative and see you all next week!
