SHS2 Design And Communication Technology · Semester 1 Week 7: Pattern Design

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 2.1.3.LI.1 - Select appropriate drawing materials and tools that can be used to create 2-dimensional free hand-drawn templates and patterns.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify at least six drawing tools and materials used for freehand 2-dimensional template and pattern drawing, stating the specific purpose of each.
Differentiate between tools suited for sketching (pencils, charcoal) and those suited for finalising (drawing pens, ink) a template or pattern.
Justify the selection of specific materials and tools for a given template or pattern project, considering factors such as the surface (paper, cardboard, foam) and the intended use (art, textiles, design).
Demonstrate safe handling practices for all drawing tools and materials, including cutting tools like blades and knives.
Collaborate effectively in mixed-ability groups to brainstorm ideas and reach a consensus on the theme and purpose of a template and pattern drawing project.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Group work/Collaborative Learning: In mixed-ability groups, learners brainstorm to come up with ideas for drawing freehand templates and patterns. This could be a theme or an idea, and what the 2-dimensional template and pattern drawing is for; e.g. art, design, textiles, etc.

Group work/Collaborative Learning: Project-based Learning: Learners in mixed-ability groups develop many small sketches and drawings based on their ideas to see which ones could work as 2-dimensional templates and patterns.

Problem-based learning: Learners in mixed-ability groups identify and select appropriate materials and tools, such as pencils, pens, markers, saws, knives, blades, cardboards, wood board, foam, styrofoam, etc. for their free hand-drawn 2-dimensional template and pattern projects.
