Features: Structural sketching, also known as "form sketching," is a type of sketching that primarily uses lines as its expressive means. It does not apply highlights or shadows, nor does it involve changes in light and shadow. Instead, it emphasizes the structural features of the subject. Structural sketching not only depicts the visible external appearance of objects but also reveals the invisible internal interconnected structure and the unseen external contours. It is an important course in design education, serving as the foundation for cultivating students' modeling skills and design thinking abilities. This book is part of the "21st Century Chinese Art Basic Education Standard Series Textbooks." It systematically organizes and explains the key points, difficulties, and uncertainties in structural sketching education, providing students with comprehensive guidance in both knowledge acquisition and skill development. The book combines practicality, scientific rigor, and forward-thinking perspectives, offering creative content suitable for use by students and faculty in art programs at universities and art academies.
