Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: B7.5.2.1.2 - Generate ideas

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Generate three distinct possible ideas through freehand sketching to solve a given design problem stated in the design brief.
Write descriptive notes for each of the three sketched ideas, explaining what the artefact is, what materials will be used, and how it solves the problem.
Compare the three generated ideas against clear criteria to verify which ones satisfy the requirements of the design brief.
Select the best design and draw it in a pictorial form with suitable dimensions.
Prepare a simple working drawing (front elevation, plan and end view) of the selected design for communication purposes.
