This online taster session will give you an insight into what it's like to study Landscape at university. You'll have the chance to hear from one of our academics, participate in a taster lecture and engage with current undergraduates.
How to analyse and draw a landscape
During this interactive session we will introduce some simple drawing techniques landscape architects use. Using a landscape you can see from your window - this may be your garden, a neighbour's garden, or the street - we want you to start considering how it is structured and what defines the space. The session lead will then demonstrate how drawing a ‘section’ of the garden enables you to explore and present how the garden spaces are defined by different landscape elements; trees, walls, hedges etc. This exercise will enable participants to begin considering how landscape spaces and their different characters are shaped and how to communicate these differences through their drawings.
