Le dessin EN • Introduction to technical drawing for furniture
Technical drawing in furniture
This course will introduce you to the basics of technical drawing as applied to furniture making. Using simple models, you’ll learn how to observe an object in three dimensions, read the necessary measurements and translate this volume into the three main orthogonal views: front elevation, plan view and side elevation.
The aim of this course is to give you the tools to design your own projects. You will be able to put your ideas on paper with greater clarity and precision.
