KS3 booklet and PPT covering Isometric drawing, Presentation techniques and Orthographic drawing.

This KS3 booklet covers Isometric drawing, Presentation techniques and Orthographic drawing. This 16 page booklet is ideal as an introduction to year 7 and contains instruction and exercises which can be used as classwork or homework. It is accompanied by a PowerPoint which takes the pupils through the resource step by step.

It is designed to ideally fit 6 one hour sessions and covers the following topics:

• Freehand sketching (lines, circles and ellipses)
• Isometric drawing including crating.
• Isometric circles and cylinders.
• Isometric exercises both on isometric grid paper (supplied) and using grid paper as an underlay.
• Presentation techniques - Thick and thin line.
• Presentation techniques - Light, medium and dark shading.
• Presentation techniques - Textured shading.
• Orthographic projection.
• Adding dimensions and hidden detail.
• Orthographic projection exercise (this requires simple blocks of wood to be cut as drawing aids, of which there is a photograph in the booklet).

Assessment runs through the booklet in each of the three sections and requires pupil self-assessment and a teacher grade.

This course is designed as a first introduction to these skills and a foundation to build in future years. Encouragement is given for pupils to then apply these skills to their other project work.
