SHS2 Design And Communication Technology · Semester 1 Week 4: Object Manipulation in Drawing

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 2.1.2.LI.1 - Investigate how simple and complex objects can be modified through object manipulation techniques.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Define object manipulation in drawing and identify at least four techniques used to modify simple and complex objects.
Examine given design images in mixed groups and determine the probable tools and techniques used to manipulate the original object, giving reasons for their conclusions.
Brainstorm and list at least five ways a given everyday object (e.g., a drinking cup or a wooden stool) can be modified through drawing techniques.
Analyse a simple household object and describe how its form, function, or meaning changes when manipulated using specific drawing techniques.
Generate a manual pictorial table or chart showing original objects alongside their manipulated versions, labelling the technique applied in each case.

Sub-strand: Object Manipulation in Drawing (1.2)
Content standard: 2.1.2.CS.1 - 2.1.2.CS.1 Demonstrate understanding and skills in object manipulation with various tools and techniques. 2.1.2.LO.1 Apply the understanding and skills in how simple and complex objects can be manipulated by drawing with concepts, symbols and narratives associated with objects.
Indicator: 2.1.2.LI.1 - Investigate how simple and complex objects can be modified through object manipulation techniques.
Suggested placement: Semester 1, Week 4 (Week 4 of the year)
Our suggestion, laid out in curriculum order across three terms of twelve weeks. NaCCA does not fix the week, so follow your school's scheme of learning.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Collaborative learning/Group work Managing Talk for Learning: Put learners in mixed groups to brainstorm how different objects can be manipulated through drawing.

Collaborative/Group learning: In mixed groups, let learners examine selected designs to determine the possible tools and techniques that were used to manipulate the initial object.

Project-Based Learning: Let learners work individually/in groups to generate a manual or digital pictorial table/chart of designs that have been created through object manipulation.

Assessment (2.1.2.AS.1). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 1 Recall; Level 2 Skills of conceptual understanding; Level 3 Strategic reasoning; Level 4 Extended critical thinking and reasoning.
