In today’s technologically driven society, what role does traditional drawing have in the preservation of our cultural heritage? Discover how these traditional values intersect with contemporary art & design practice and technological sophistication.

Exploring the rich culture of the city of Barcelos, students are encouraged to make architectural studies, examine museum artefacts, and create renderings of the living presence of the city’s inhabitants. These traditional approaches to drawing and illustration are to be finalised in a digital format, where the students’ work will be displayed in an augmented reality exhibition walk.

This course aims to provide an in-depth analysis of visual note-taking and the methodology of “thinking on paper”, the process of making visual and contextual observations, and the subsequent stages involved in establishing connections for a meaningful narrative and composition.
