Printable cards for teaching/learning product design sketching techniques.
A set of x20 Design Skills Cards, each represent a different design sketching technique including crating, line weights and isometric drawings. Each card features a hand drawn example as well as ‘what, why, how’ explanations.
The techniques derive from the AQA Design & Technology GCSE specification, the AQA Product Design A Level specification as well as my teaching experience and Product Design degree.
This digital download comes with x40 JPEG files (front & back) packaged into a PDF, a ‘how to use’ guide and as well as a printing guide.
I have tried and tested these in a secondary Product Design and Graphic Design classroom setting - from Yr 7 right through to Yr 13.
