Course Objectives
The course aims to explore the physical and figurative aspects of objects in three-dimensional space and introduce students to the techniques and forms of object representation, highlighting shape and configuration.
To achieve these goals, the course, structured into various activities, pursues the following objectives:
- Aims to provide students with the basic skills of graphic representation through analog and digital methods and techniques; graphic representation will be adopted as a tool for knowledge and analysis.
Particular attention will be paid to the use of digital techniques for representing objects and their placement in space.
Qualifying educational objectives:
- Acquisition of the basic notions of analog and digital graphic representation techniques;
- Ability to represent and analyze objects in two-dimensional and three-dimensional space.
Specific educational objectives related to the course topic:
- Ability to develop knowledge of different methods of graphic representation;
- Ability to develop graphic compositions in a digital environment;
- Ability to develop graphic works on the assigned topic
Course Prerequisites
The Fondamenti della Rappresentazione Grafica Course is part of the Corso Integrato di Disegno and will be held on the second semester after students have completed the Corso di Applicazioni di Geometria Descrittiva, therefore basic knowledge of descriptive geometry is required.

Distributed over the hours of classroom teaching (10 hours = 1 credit) (as per the register)
1. General introduction to the topics of graphic representation (3 hours)
2. Tools and techniques of graphic representation (2 hours)
3. Representation systems and metric scale (3 hours)
4. The representation of geometric figures in planes and in space (3 hours)
5. Representation for interior design (4 hours)
6. The graphic composition of interior a space (4 hours)

Other: A final workshop is planned
Activity Calendar (even if only indicating the week/semester with reference to the academic calendar)
Second semester
1st week: lecture
2nd week: lecture
3rd week: lecture + exercise
4th week: lecture + exercise
5th week: lecture + exercise
6th week: lecture + exercise
7th week: lecture + exercise
8th week: lecture + exercise

2. STUDENT INDEPENDENT WORK
Explain the methods, content, and timing of the work component that the student will be expected to complete independently outside of the classroom teaching hours provided (to complete the hours/credits).
1 credit = 25 hours (10 classroom hours/15 student-led hours*)
- In-depth study of the bibliography (theoretical part)
- Preparation of graphic designs for midterm tests (experimentation)
- Preparation of papers for the final exam.
Assessment Methods
The exam is individual. Students must demonstrate a minimum attendance requirement (75%) after submitting all the graphic designs assigned during the year and the final tables.
The designs produced during the course and the topics covered in the lectures will be the subject of the final exam.
Grades:
30 - 30 cum laude: excellent ability to produce the graphic designs required during the exercises; consistent participation in course activities and regular submission of the assigned graphic designs.
26 - 29: good ability to produce the graphic designs required during the exercises; consistent participation in course activities and regular submission of the assigned graphic designs.
22 - 25: sufficient ability to produce the graphic designs required during the exercises; consistent participation in course activities and regular submission of the assigned graphic designs.
18-21: minimal ability to produce the graphic designs required during the exercises; Consistent participation in course activities and regular submission of assigned graphic designs.
Insufficient: Severe difficulty producing the required graphic designs during exercises; consistent participation in course activities and regular submission of assigned graphic designs; absences exceeding 25%.

Contents
The Fondamenti della Rappresentazione Grafica Course aims to develop a knowledge and understanding of representation in the field of graphic and visual design, starting from its historical development, its relationship with related disciplines, and the specific language of object representation.
The course aims to provide the methodological and technical foundations, focusing on learning the techniques useful for understanding objects and their spatial configuration through fundamental geometric-projective forms.
The forms of analog representation will be combined with digital techniques, exploring the relationship between object, measurement, model, and space.
The course, as a whole, aims to develop a knowledge and understanding of the main processes of analog and digital representation.
