An introduction to drawing various 3D shapes in isometric. Pupils can try to copy out the shapes and then practice adding realistic shading and thick and thin lines.
A series of worksheets on basic orthographic drawing techniques.
Includes two pages describing the basics, followed by five different 3D shapes to draw using the orthographic drawing technique.
This is a great starting point for any pupil, the grids allow the pupils to practice drawing each of the shapes accurately.
A worksheet based on the Isometric Drawing technique
Pupils will need to copy the different wood joints onto the isometric grid
When complete they can practice adding a realistic wood texture to each of the joints.
This is great for a cover/one off lesson, extension or for simply practicing.
A useful resource to allow pupils to practice drawing various difficulty shapes in isometric using the provided grid.
Pupils can even practice adding realistic shading and thick and thin lines to enhance their drawings.
Three 1 Point Perspective worksheets based on drawing cubes, shapes and letters using the 1pp drawing technique. This is great for those starting to learn to learn the techniques and allow them to grasp the basics.
A Re-Design task based on the design company Alessi.
Pupils will need to redesign the products on the worksheet in the style of Alessi these include a: Hairdryer, Radio, Clock, Cutlery Set, Pizza Cutter and Potato Masher.
Ideal for a follow up lesson on Alessi or a cover lesson.
A useful task allowing pupils to practice drawing various wood joints in 2D design using the Isometric grid setting.
The A4 pages can be printed and trimmed to provide individual handouts for the pupils to use as guidance.
9xA3 Revision Worksheets for AQA Design Technology (Section C of the exam)
These worksheets include links to the BBC bitesize revision pages so they can be completed independently.
These have been used with my own year 11 group with great success.
A collection of different isometric drawing tasks that can be done as Starter or Do Now activities.
There are nine different items to draw. Each page contains three copies of the task so it can be trimmed easily and distributed at the start of a lesson or even as an extension task.
2 x A3 Revision worksheets for AQA Design and Technology linked to Section C of the exam. These particular worksheets are focussed on “Investigating”.
These revision worksheets can be completed independently using the links to BBC Bitesize provided at the top of each section.
A powerpoint for a lesson where pupils will need to design their own pizza and box. This is great for a single lesson or a cover lesson if required.
The powerpoint contains all the things that the pupils will need to think of when designing their pizza and an example at the end.
A worksheet for pupils to practice adding a realistic wood texture to different shapes. Allows them to practice adding the grain and knots on different surfaces.
Great as a starting point.
A mini assessment based on CAD/CAM for design and technology pupils.
This can be done either at the start of a project or at the end to check progress and understanding.
It can be edited easily as it is a word document.
