Step 43D Design

3D Design
Resources: Work booklets / colouring pencils / drawing guide

3D sketching can be quite intimidating for young children so its important to show how break it down into small steps.
  • I use the white board to demonstrate how to construct the 3D sketch, the drawing guide seen in the images above can be projected to the whole class or printed as individual sheets to hand out. I personally like to sketch it live on the board a bit at a time.
  • Once the drawing is complete explain how to use colour to render the 3D sketch. 
  • I also show how to add design detail sketches to show how the product is constructed e.g. exploded views etc..
  • Annotate the drawing with:
    • Materials used
    • Tools used
    • How is it joined together
    • Plastic moulding / manufacturing info learnt form plastics theory lesson
