2. Aims
To understand that drawings and models can be
made for very different purposes and audiences;
To enable you to be able to identify what the
purpose and who the audience is when you see
different models drawings etc.
To look at a range of different models and drawings
3. "Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas."
Georges Braque: Painter
“Drawing is how we talk, it is our conversation”
Rodney Fitch; Brand developer
“Drawing with the hand develops a part of the
brain that is untouched by any other activity”
David Quay and Freda Sack: Type designers.
4. Sometimes students sit and think of an idea
before they draw and model make. This can
work, but it is almost always better to start
producing ideas and to think by doing (or at I’m thinking!
least while you are doing). Designers iterate
that means they produce an idea, look at it,
then develop it and then look at it in an almost
endless cycle. So use your hands to help you
think!
6. “Don’t forget to show your working out!”
In Maths you are always asked to show your working out.
In D&T students often jump to a preferred solution
without the required kinds of “calculating” having been
undertaken or shown?
7. In English you are often asked to write a range of ways and to identify
particular audiences
