key design factors that contribute to the aesthetics, appearance and functions of objects/structures
observational drawing methods for the purpose of showing form, proportion, surface textures and relationships between objects
visualisation drawing methods for the purpose of making visible design ideas and concepts
presentation drawing methods for the purpose of refining conceptual designs using manual and digital methods
drawing methods to represent three-dimensional forms, such as paraline (isometric and planometric) and perspective (one and two point)
rendering techniques for depicting the direction of light, shade and shadow and for representing surfaces, materials, texture and form
manual and/or digital methods suitable for creating drawings
a range of media and materials to support different drawing purposes and drawing methods

14. Types of Drawing
A refresher

15. Observation Drawings
Freehand drawing that requires direct observation of the object or structure to represent form, proportion, materials and textures effectively. Observational drawing can communicate structural detail and function. Observational drawings may incorporate naturally observed perspective.

16. Visualisation Drawings
Drawing from imagination supports the generation of ideas. These drawings are in the form of quick freehand sketches aimed at conceptualizing and communicating ideas. Drawings may be developed in two or three dimensions. They may also include explanatory sketches and diagrams.

17. Presentation Drawings
Presentation drawings present design concepts and final design solutions. They are refined and finished drawings and may employ either manual or digital media applications. Methods of production may include perspective or paraline drawings (3D), and/or third- angle orthogonal projections (two-dimensional)

18. Reminders! Glossary words for today into your digital glossary
All information WILL BE on Student Shared Drive for students to access – you will need to re-print anything yourself
