ABSTRACT
Creating analogue presentation drawings makes the designer conscious of the visual communication’s intent and craft. This chapter deals with teaching analogue drawing in landscape architecture by asking questions on intent and craft, underlining that the process of creating drawings is a vehicle not just for communicating design ideas but also for design exploration. It utilizes a three part framework to distinguish symbolic, naturalistic, and fantastical drawings. The intent of a naturalistic drawing is to reveal proposed qualities of place as a person might experience through the senses. The intent of fantasy drawings is to evoke the strange and open the imagination of viewers. Whether working on monochrome or full color, attention to value development in a drawing is what creates volume and life. In keeping with design conventions, line weights should be used in a hierarchy to imply spatial conditions. Attention to proportion develops from perceiving shape, which grows through drawing from sight, or observation.
