Y9 3D Design involves the teaching and learning of basic hand drawing skills for the pupose of communicating design . The drawing modes learnt include freehand sketching and instrumental drawing. We start the process with copying simple 2D images and then move to drawing more complex 3D design work.

Students also learn some basic design processing skills which guide them into making (ideally) better and more creative design solutions.

Year 10 3D Design involves the teaching the communication of design using different drawing and annotation modes.

The modes of drawing learnt are freehand sketching, instrumental drawing and a range of digitally produced drawings types using industry standard software for product design (Fusion 360) and spatial design (Archicad)

 These drawing skills are taught and then practiced. The boys are then taught a design process and are then given a design brief which they initiate, develop and then present a design solution for using their newly developing design skills.

The boys are given two briefs to provide solutions for:

Architectural  (cubic tramping hut)

Product (furniture item)

This course runs for two terms.
