Year 7 Graphics – Isometric Drawing Objective: To understand how to produce an isometric drawing Outcome: To be able to use angles and views to communicate and represent our design ideas. Starter Look at these 2 cubes. Are they both 3D? Why is it 3D? What is different about them?

Year 7 Graphics – Isometric Drawing Isometric Drawing is a way of showing a three-dimensional (3D) in two-dimension (2D) on an angle of 30° on the horizontal. 30° Isometric grid paper can be used to help draw in isometric

Year 7 Graphics – Isometric Drawing Process: 1st Draw the vertical line in the middle. 2nd Then draw the parallel lines at 30° angle of the vertical line. 3rd Draw the vertical lines joining the parallel lines. 4th Draw the other parallel lines in the correct distance apart 5th Add the remaining lines 3D Object

Year 7 Graphics – Isometric Drawing Isometric Paper Helps you draw objects in isometric. Each triangle or dot is angled to be 30° and at a 10 mm spacing. If you are drawing at scale 1:1 what does this mean?

Year 7 Graphics – Isometric Drawing Task 1: On the dotted isometric paper draw: A cube H10mm x L10mm x D10mm A cube H20mm x L20mm xD20mm A cuboid H10mm x L20mm xD10mm A cuboid H20mm x L10mm xD10mm H L D

Year 7 Graphics – Isometric Drawing Task 2: Using what you have learnt, you are now going to draw a cube to scale 1:1 What does scale and what does 1:1 mean? How would you make it look wooden? Where is the light source in this picture? Add: Surface texture Colour Light source Shadow Shaded side

Year 7 Graphics - Isometric Drawing Plenary: How, where, when, why, what How does isometric drawing work? Where and when would you want to produce an isometric drawing? Why is isometric projection important? What are the steps to complete isometric projection?
