Summary
This module will teach and develop skills in drawing. It will take students from the fundamentals of perspective principles through to a level where they can develop and communicate complex three-dimensional forms. Students will progressively learn to add detail to their drawings in terms of form, design reality, tone and texture.
Re-assessment
Students who fail this module overall and are required to complete a re-assessment will be re-assessed by coursework The re-assessment mark for the module will be a combination of the marks from coursework passed first time and the coursework which have been re-assessed.
Target Students
Students undertaking Product Design and Manufacture.

Educational Aims
To develop perspective drawing skills. To use drawing skills to develop three-dimensional objects to be useful to progress the students conceptual thinking and communication in the design process. To enhance a visual appreciation of form, balance and dynamics. To develop spatial awareness in the understanding of three-dimensional forms and their construction.Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students will be able to:
LO1 - Create 3 dimensional geometric forms in constructed freehand perspective of specified and imagined objects. (AHEP 17)
LO2 - Draw products with an appropriate level of detail to evaluate its form and possible function. (AHEP 17)
LO3 - Understand and communicate 3 dimensional forms from a variety of views, developing an understanding of form control in drawing. (AHEP 17)
LO4 - Recognise ways of creating visual interest in forms and proportions and have an appreciation of how to construct complex form. (AHEP 17)
LO5 - Create design pages that convey product designs in an informative and impactful way. (AHEP 17)
LO6 - Plan and record your development through a portfolio of your drawing work from the year demonstrating your attainment of learning (AHEP 18)
