Abstract
The forms of nature, including the human body, have an implicit geometry, sometimes not visible without an analytical eye. Within the framework of studying conic curves, first-year Architecture students were asked to geometrize the faces of their grandparents, seeking these curves in the general features and in the detail of the marks that time has left on the face. With small creative exercises like this, it is intended that students internalize and apply the theoretical content learned in class.
Through visual references, they have been introduced to the world of graphic design and illustration, providing them with examples and tools for geometric abstraction and the search for simple elements in the apparent complexity of a face.
The mix of the endearing with the theoretical, the visual with the three-dimensional, colors with lines has made this exercise a enriching experience. With this presentation, the aim is to analyze how the quality and depth of knowledge in the concepts addressed have been increased through this small exercise.
