Abstract

In Japanese art education up to high school, there is no education on theory and exercise to accurately write the shape on the plane. Moreover, with the popularization of smartphones with cameras, the ability of university students at hand drawings has declined. Then the conventional curriculum of the mechanical drawing, teaching of drafting rules, cannot improve their drafting technic and the ability to imagine 3D object from 2D drawing. We have developed a new curriculum to develop their ability described in above before the study of drafting rules. Theories and exercises on projection geometry and isometric drawing are studied in the new curriculum “Fundamental Drawing”. Most of students have drawn well the isometric drawing of a squill vise from the given figure information in third angle system at the end of total 18 hours lectures.
