  Competencies acquired in part I will be applied and further developed with new skills including freehand drawing, manual drafting, model bbuilding, and computer aided modeling and rendering. Through a series of studio design exercises the skills of architectural expression and visual literacy will be explored. Traditional graphic/rendering skills such as air brush, watercolor, colored pencil, and charcoal will be applied to the practice of three dimensional graphics and model construction. A significant part of the course will be devoted to acquiring skill in computer aided rendering, three dimensional modeling, and animation by the use of CAD and other software programs. These learning experiences will reinforce and enhance the student's ability to communicate design ideasm record the built environment, and solve design problems.
