Supporting courses: DES2065: Technical Design 2 DES2075: Technical Drafting 2 DES3065: Technical Design 3 DES3075: Technical Drafting 3

Outcomes The student will:

1 research and consider the various types of media that can be used to render illustrative drawings for a student-generated or teacher-specified designed item
- 1.1 select and use appropriate materials and/or software

2 use various rendering techniques and media to create high quality visual representations of design solutions
- 2.1 create a set of rendered drawings using appropriate tools and materials (e.g., water colour, marker pens, CAD) based on illustrative drawings from other courses or provided by the teacher
- 2.2 select, propose and justify the media and techniques used to render the designed item for application and audience approval before completion
- 2.3 render the design solution through the use of materials, textures and quality of light
3 create and present the design solution
