DES3065 Technical Design 3

Advanced · 1 credit · MDC - Media, Design, and Communication Arts

Description
Students concentrate on various drawing and drafting types to illustrate design concepts and solutions, including freehand drawings, illustrative views, perspective drawings, axonometric drawings and surface developments (flat pattern).
Prerequisite
DES2065: Technical Design 2
Parameters
Access to drawing tools, equipment and materials.

Outcomes The student will:

  • 1 produce illustrative drawings for a student-generated or teacher-specified designed item

    • 1.1 produce illustrative drawings for the production of a designed item; e.g., a building interior/exterior, landscape, fashion, machined item, pre-fabricated component

    • 1.2 select and use appropriate tools and materials

    • 1.3 select, propose and justify the drawings needed to produce the designed item and approve before starting; e.g., freehand drawings, illustrative views, perspective drawings, axonometric drawings, surface developments (flat pattern)

    • 1.4 produce illustrative drawings using appropriate drawing techniques; e.g., accuracy in proportion and scale, using freehand perspective grids, underlay isometric grids

    • 1.5 demonstrate competency in conventional and/or software techniques for construction of accurate, illustrative views of design solutions

    • 1.6 select and use appropriate drawing instruments, materials and computer applications

  • 2 apply design detailing, and make rational judgments with respect to proportion, scale and composition

    • 2.1 resolve problems of design detailing during drawing projects, with attention to such aspects as proportion, scale and composition

    • 2.2 complete as line drawings only; i.e., no surface textures or shading

  • 3 include the design solution in a portfolio

    • 3.1 maintain a journal/sketchbook throughout the process

    • 3.2 participate in a final critique

    • 3.3 use appropriate terminology within the context

    • 3.4 print/plot drawings and include them in a portfolio

  • 4 identify copyright restrictions and permissions and put them into practice

  • 5 apply consistent and appropriate work station routines

    • 5.1 demonstrate good health and safety practices; e.g., posture, positioning of hardware and furniture

    • 5.2 demonstrate security for hardware, software, supplies and personal work

  • 6 demonstrate basic competencies

    • 6.1 demonstrate fundamental skills to:

      • 6.1.1 communicate

      • 6.1.2 manage information

      • 6.1.3 use numbers

      • 6.1.4 think and solve problems

    • 6.2 demonstrate personal management skills to:

      • 6.2.1 demonstrate positive attitudes and behaviours

      • 6.2.2 be responsible

      • 6.2.3 be adaptable

      • 6.2.4 learn continuously

      • 6.2.5 work safely

    • 6.3 demonstrate teamwork skills to:

      • 6.3.1 work with others

      • 6.3.2 participate in projects and tasks

  • 7 create a transitional strategy to accommodate personal changes and build personal values

    • 7.1 identify short-term and long-term goals

    • 7.2 identify steps to achieve goals
