a 3D representation of an object where sides are drawn at 30 degrees

a drawing technique that creates the illusion of depth and space on a flat surface

a technique used to draw more complex 3D shapes

Crating techniques

Design and technology

Rendering techniques

Realistic rendering techniques

One point perspective

Interpret orthographic projections

Draw orthographic projections

Cross-sectional drawings

Exploded diagrams

Pupils will develop knowledge and skills of communication, including freehand 3D sketching using the crating technique. They will learn how to render to show texture and tone. They will also learn how to draw using more formal techniques, such as one-point perspective and orthographic projection.

Communication

to add details like shading, texture and depth to a sketch to make it appear more realistic

the lightness or darkness of an area, which helps create a sense of dimension in the image

an unlit area of an object that is blocking light

the brightest part of an object lit by a lightsource

how something feels, or looks like it would feel, if touched

adding shadow to a sketch to make it appear more realistic

the spot on the horizon where all the lines in a perspective drawing meet

the imaginary line where the sky meets the ground, which helps set up perspective in a drawing

the illusion of distance or three-dimensional space on a flat surface

represents a 3D object in 2D, where views are projected from the object's surface

measurements on a drawing to show the exact size of parts

a dashed line that marks the middle of a hole or a symmetrical part of an object

used to plan out and position elements of a drawing

an internal view of a 3D object when cut through a plane

indicates where a sectional view is taken from, represented by a dashed line with arrows

the features inside an object only visible in a cross-sectional drawing.

shows all parts of an object separated in the correct places along an axis or plane
