Entry knowledge

Construction of conics using their focal properties.Perspective collineation, perspectoive affinity, affine image of a circle.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Students have to pass two credit tests, submit two drawings and other homework, 100% of attendance.
Followed by an exam with a pass rate of at least 50%.


Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.

Aims

After the course the students should understand and know how to use the basics of Monge projection, orthogonal axonometry, skew projection, and linear perspective.


Students should be able to construct conics using their focus properties, basics of stereometry, perspective colineation and affinity. Understand and get the basics of projection: Monge`s projection, axonometry and linear perspective. They should be able to solve simple 3D problems, display the basic geometric bodies and surfaces in each projection, their section. Students should be able to draw an object in a linear perspective. They construct a helix using specified elements, an orthogonal closed rule right helicoidal surface, circle and parabolic conoid, arcs.
