Introduction to drafting is one of the first year graphics courses in Tech Track.
The fall semester begins with fundamental mechanical drawing techniques and builds
to drafting floor plans and sectional views of architecture. The spring semester
develops specific theatre related drawings including a typical Broadway stage in
plan and section, a dance dressed stage and a detailed elevation and plan of a
building facade. The final five weeks of the year are spent with an introduction
to AutoCAD. Throughout the semester emphasis is placed upon clarity of information,
"aesthetically pleasing" layout and a solid understanding the language of graphics.
