SHS1 Design And Communication Technology · Semester 1 Week 8: Object Manipulation in Drawing

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 1.1.2.LI.3 - Use available media and techniques to manipulate objects based on conceptual, symbols, metaphors and narratives associated with objects.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Select at least two available media (for example, pencil, charcoal, drawing pen, or ink) appropriate for a freehand drawing task that manipulates a familiar object.
Apply at least three freehand drawing techniques, such as distortion, exaggeration, simplification, or fragmentation, to manipulate a chosen object while preserving its recognisable identity.
Explain, in one or two sentences, the concept, symbol, metaphor, or narrative their manipulated drawing communicates to a viewer.
Produce a finished freehand drawing on A4 sketch pad paper that demonstrates deliberate manipulation of an object and meets the assessment criteria agreed in class.
Critique a peer’s manipulated drawing using the agreed assessment criteria, giving one strength and one suggestion for improvement.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Project based-learning: Working individually, learners use the available tools and techniques in freehand drawing to generate a simple manipulation of objects.

Managing talk for learning, Collaborative learning/ Group work: Place learners in mixed groups, and task them to examine the concept, symbolism, metaphors, and narratives associated with objects and shapes. This can be done with the aid of photographs/drawings and sketches, videos, real objects, etc. Collaborative learning/Group learning: In small groups, learners discuss how various designers have used the available tools and techniques in freehand drawing to generate a simple/complex manipulation of objects in line with the concepts, symbolism, metaphors, and narratives associated with those objects.

Project Based-Learning, individual learning: Working individually, learners use the available tools and freehand drawing techniques to generate a simple manipulation of objects in line with the concept, symbolism, metaphors, and narratives associated with those objects.
