ABSTRACT
The graphics class evolves to a looser interpretation of the line much less dependent on tools but still having certain criteria for appropriate communication. These lines begin to represent spaces, active and passive circulation, textures of plant materials, patterns for emphasizing edges of spaces, shading and detail. The course ends with the development of a variety of orthographic views such as section-elevation, axon and perspective. Generally, lighter colors are used to render trees and darker colors are applied to plant materials closer to the ground. A deviation to this is that most evergreens are rendered with a mid to dark green. When using textures for illustrative landscape graphics, less texture is used for trees and more texture is applied to plant materials as they get closer to the ground. The designer has artistic license to choose elements to include or exclude so the client has a better understanding of scale, proportion, and proximity of items in the newly designed space.
