MaterialsStudents will need to purchase a drawing kit to be discussed in class (marker set, markerpaper, canson paper, sketch book, colored pencils, stencils, ruler, eraser, chalk pastel, white-out or white gouache). Some materials (pen and paper) will be provided for the first lecture,but the kit must be purchased prior to lecture 2.
Creativity, Idea Generation and InnovationIn the first 7 weeks of the semester, PDES #### Creativity, Idea Generation, and Innovation istaught at the same times during the week. PDES #### is designed to follow naturally after PDES###; however, students are not required to enroll in both classes.
GradingStudents keep a sketchbook to develop concepts for the weekly assignments. Both thesketchbook and the assignments will be reviewed weekly during discussion. There are 7assignments that are equally weighted, one for each week of the class. Graduate GradingStudents will be graded on a higher standard than undergraduate students. Graduate studentswill have an alternative, more comprehensive assignment for the final week (week 7).70% - Weekly Assignments20% - Class Participation10% - Idea Journal
Week 1Lecture/Workshop â¿¿ Basics of Sketching, Mental Models and 2-Point PerspectiveAssignment â¿¿ Simple Primitive Forms in Perspective*This is a basic introduction to perspective and line work. The assignment will involvepracticing making cubes and cylinders with different vanishing points using a familiar object(Legos).
Week 2Lecture/Workshop â¿¿ Blocking, Combined Primitives (Geoforms), Corners and Contours Assignment â¿¿ Freehand Sketching of Simple Existing Products*Building off of the first week, students will learn how to combine these primitive shapes tomake sketches of objects that look like real, simple products. We will also discuss how tosketch rounded corners and contour lines. The assignment this week involves making sketchesof real but simple products (such as Ikea furniture, lamps, towel racks).

Lecture/Workshop â¿¿ Marker Basics, Shading and Tone, Shadows and Highlights Assignment â¿¿ Shading and Shadows on Traced Drawings*This is an introduction to using markers to render sketches. The assignment detaches thesketch from the rendering and allows students to start with a traced sketch of popular productsto focus on producing realistic shading and shadows.
Week 4Lecture/Workshop â¿¿ Pencil Rendering, Details, Texture Assignment â¿¿ Orthographic Detailed Conceptual Sketches*This lecture focuses on details in drawings such as parting lines, buttons, and holes. Studentswill also learn to sketch on Canson (textured) paper as opposed to marker paper, which givesthe sketch texture. The assignment allows students to focus on highlights, shadows and detailsby sketching only orthographic views, which eliminates perspective. This assignment is also anintroduction to drawing new concepts as opposed to existing products. Items that they coulddraw for this assignment could be USB sticks, watches, cell phones, etc.
Week 5Lecture/Workshop â¿¿ Form Language, Branding, Organic ShapesAssignment â¿¿ New Product, Existing Brand*This lecture focuses on exploring form language in a product line as a means of branding.Students are introduced to mood boards and style boards as a way of inspiring design. We willalso cover some basics of drawing organic shapes. The assignment involves studying an existingproduct line, defining the form language and developing a sketch of new conceptual product forthat line. Students are allowed to pull pieces from existing products, but are still given theopportunity to develop a new concept. In this assignment students are expected to combinetechniques learned in the first four weeks.
Week 6Lecture/Workshop â¿¿ Storyboarding, Product Context, Faces and HandsAssignment â¿¿ Product Use Storyboard *This lecture is about conveying a story involving the product. Storyboards are used to show asuggested use scenario, to show assembly instructions or to just give context to the product.Lecture material is adapted from film industry and comic book design. Students are also shownthe basics handwriting, arrows, faces and hands, which are commonly used in product designsketches. The assignment involves developing a storyboard or comic strip around one of theprior assignment sketches or a new conceptual product.
Week 7 Lecture/Workshop â¿¿ Digital Rendering TechniquesAssignment â¿¿ Digitized Conceptual Product Sketch *This lecture involves taking rough sketches and enhancing and rendering them using Photoshop. The assignment involves taking one of the earlier un-rendered sketches from Weeks 2 or 4 andproducing digitally rendered sketches. Graduate Assignment â¿¿ New Product Presentation Board *Student will choose a conceptual product concept from their idea notebook and develop aseries of drawings to present the concept using a variety of the tools and techniques covered inprior assignments including Week 7â¿¿s digital rendering.

Use of Personal Electronic Devices in the Classroom:Using personal electronic devices in the classroom setting can hinder instruction and learning,not only for the student using the device but also for other students in the class. To this end,the University establishes the right of each faculty member to determine if and how personalelectronic devices are allowed to be used in the classroom. For complete information, pleasereference: http://policy.umn.edu/Policies/Education/Education/CLASSROOMPED.html.Scholastic Dishonesty:You are expected to do your own academic work and cite sources as necessary. Failing to do sois scholastic dishonesty. Scholastic dishonesty means plagiarizing; cheating on assignments orexaminations; engaging in unauthorized collaboration on academic work; taking, acquiring, orusing test materials without faculty permission; submitting false or incomplete records ofacademic achievement; acting alone or in cooperation with another to falsify records or toobtain dishonestly grades, honors, awards, or professional endorsement; altering, forging, ormisusing a University academic record; or fabricating or falsifying data, research procedures, ordata analysis. (Student Conduct Code:http://www1.umn.edu/regents/policies/academic/Student_Conduct_Code.html) If it isdetermined that a student has cheated, he or she may be given an "F" or an "N" for the course,and may face additional sanctions from the University.
