5 credits towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture (Doric Order) | Submitted for AIA CES Approval
This practical hands-on drawing course covers the third subject in the Introduction to the Elements of Classical Architecture sequence - the nomenclature, grammar, and proportional relationships of the canonical Doric order. The course is centered around freehand drawing of the Doric column and entablature. All instruction is live and on-line. This introduction forms part of a foundation for understanding all of the classical orders from the practitioner’s perspective, and lays the groundwork for exploring their use within an architectural composition.
Please not that in order to enroll in the class, participants must have completed the ICAA's Introduction to Mouldings and Tuscan Order courses (or have equivalent experience), and be able to sketch and draft in pencil at a rudimentary level.
Please note that participants are required to bring drawing materials to participate in the program. A full list of materials is available here.In addition, as participants will be working directly with the instructors over Zoom, a computer or tablet with internet access and a functioning camera and microphone is required. Participants will be asked to scan or photograph their work and send it to the instructors during the course. Prior to the day of the course, please make sure you have a working camera and adequate lighting in order to take images of your work.Should you have any questions about these requirements, please email [email protected].
