Description

In this unit students are introduced to a broad range of drawing materials and techniques for 3D design communication. Students will conceptualise and communicate ideas on paper and render designs that allow manufacturers to meet the design specifications. The unit will also introduce students to a variety of techniques and materials for mounting and presenting final works.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Assess and create drawings appropriate to spatial design requirements.
  2. Communicate design ideas and concepts using a variety of drawing mediums.
  3. Construct scale working drawings of objects and environments.
  4. Create 3D perspective drawings to professional design standards.
  5. Discuss different styles, mediums and techniques used in drawing for spatial design.
  6. Present written summaries of technical presentations.

Unit Content

  1. Colour rendering techniques.
  2. Design Presentation techniques.
  3. Drawing contexts.
  4. Freehand sketching and conceptual development.
  5. Object and spatial perspective drawing.
  6. Research different drawing media.
  7. Selection of drawing types.
  8. Technical drawings for fabrication.

Additional Learning Experience Information
