Mastering 3D sketching
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can render a complex shape and add annotation.
Key learning points
- Rendering can be used to enhance complex shapes.
- Annotation using subheadings can be used to analyse products.
Keywords
Render - to add details like shading, texture, and depth to a drawing to make it appear more realistic
Annotation - a comment added to a diagram or image to provide explanation, clarification, or extra information
Tone - the lightness or darkness of an area, which helps create a sense of dimension in the image
Texture - how something feels or looks like it would feel if touched
Common misconception
Annotations can replace the need for a clear and accurate sketch.
Annotation provides further explanation or clarification on what is not visible in the sketch.
Teacher tip
Annotating live in front of the pupils is a great way to exemplify the process of annotating a sketch. This could be done using a visuliser or on a white board.
Equipment
pencil, rubber, ruler, pencil crayons
