Week 18: Technical Drawing

How do we communicate our ideas? We often used language, but this isn’t always an effective method for communicating design.

Think about this scenario, let’s say I want to build a rocking chair. What do you picture? Is it this?

Technical drawings are a way of more clearly showing our ideas. This helps ourselves and others better understand what we are thinking.

Try out your skills!

Before you make a technical drawing of your own design, start with something you see. Make sure your drawing includes a top, front, side and isometric view. Then put the original away and try of make a 3D model just using your drawing. Remember, this is a skill and skills take practice. Take your time and try your best. Good Luck!
