Question: Can these artistic skills be learned/taught!?
I'll be applying to a prominent design university in Germany in 3 years!. I'm extremely excited, but there are a few problems!. When I design I'm used to draping!.!.!.my sketches suck!.

In my portfolio they want at least 20 pieces!.

These are the "ideas" they give:

30 %

Still life/ Object drawings

Proportion sketches/Nudes

Perspective Drawings

40 %

Abstracts

Collages/Mood boards

CAD work

Photography

30 %

Trend sketches

Fashion sketches

Textile sketches

Photographed finished designs

-------

Some of those things I can do, some of them I rock at, and others I can't do at all!.

Can they generally be taught!? I always saw drawing as a bit of a talent thing!. Can I learn it!?

This is my dream school (besides Parson's) and I really need to work my butt of!. Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Draw something every day!. You can certainly learn to - it takes patience and desire to improve!. If you don't want to take a class, find a good "drawing for beginners" book!. I would start with simple things that you actually have a strong interest in drawing and move up from there!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
