Wentworth recently purchased state-of-the-art graphics tablets for use in architecture and industrial design classes. The Cintiq graphics tablet allows users to design directly on a display surface while the image is displayed on an overhead projector or computer screen. The Cintiq produces images that resemble a natural drawing and has the editing capabilities and additional effects of a computer program.
“This device has proven to be a valuable and effective tool for teaching freshmen drawing, allowing for a dynamic and hands-on learning experience,” said Rob Trumbour, professor of architecture. “Lectures are more engaging, and students can follow along by drawing in their own sketchbooks as I go.”
