A graphics ‘course’ that introduces students to toning and shading, rendering, isometric, isometric circles and orthographic. It’s all self-contained so students work straight on the booklet. The booklet can be printed as seperate A4 sheets or on A3 landscape that can then be stapled into booklet form. It includes peer assessment and and a quick and easy mark scheme for teachers. Ideal for extended staff absence or if you are a non-specialist or non-accredited H&S D&T teacher that’s been given a D&T group and don’t know what to do with them. Some graphics knowledge is useful/expected though, and you’ll need isometric circle or ellipse templates. You will probably find those templates under a pile of old set squares covered in used sand paper in that yellow plastic tray labeled ‘steel rules’!
