SHS1 Design And Communication Technology · Semester 1, Week 7

Object Manipulation in Drawing

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 1.1.2.LI.2 - Experiment with various tools and techniques in drawing to manipulate organic and inorganic shapes, forms and objects.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

  1. Distinguish between organic and inorganic shapes and forms by sorting given objects into the correct categories.
  2. Demonstrate at least three different manipulation techniques (distortion, exaggeration, simplification) on both organic and inorganic shapes using pencil and charcoal.
  3. Select and justify the appropriate drawing tool for manipulating a given shape or object based on the desired visual effect.
  4. Create a freehand drawing that manipulates one organic and one inorganic object using a minimum of two different tools and two different techniques.
  5. Present and explain their manipulated drawings to peers, describing the technique used and the effect achieved.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Research, Managing Talk for Learning, Collaborative Learning, Group Work: Place learners in mixed groups, and task them to examine how tools and techniques are used to manipulate specific objects through freehand drawing. This can be done with the aid of photographs/drawings and sketches, videos, real objects, etc

Collaborative learning/Group work, Managing talk for learning: In small groups, ask learners to discuss how various designers have used the available tools and techniques in freehand drawing to generate a simple/complex manipulation of objects.

Assessment (1.1.2.AS.2). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 2 Skills of conceptual understanding; Level 3 Strategic reasoning.
