Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: B9.1.2.1.2

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

identify and name at least three digital tools (software or apps) suitable for 3-D drawing, shading and colouring available on their phones, tablets or school computers.
use a selected digital tool to create a 3-D design that combines lines, simple shapes and forms, with accurate shading and colouring.
apply at least two digital shading techniques (e.g. gradient, opacity or tonal layering) to give their design a three-dimensional appearance.
document the suitability of each digital tool they try, noting its strengths and weaknesses for drawing, shading and colouring.
present their finished digital design to peers for appraisal and give constructive feedback on another learner’s work.
