Year 10 - Design and technology

Mastering 3D sketching

Product analysis: encouraging healthy lifestyles

Unit Summary

Pupils will analyse products to identify features in the products. They will also identify the materials, material properties and manufacturing processes used to create the products. They will conduct functional tests to collect and analyse data to inform design decisions.

Lesson Summary

You will learn to render a complex shape and add annotation.

Key Notes

  • Rendering can be used to enhance complex shapes.
  • Annotation using subheadings can be used to analyse products.

Vocabulary To Learn

  • render: to add details like shading, texture, and depth to a drawing to make it appear more realistic
  • annotation: a comment added to a diagram or image to provide explanation, clarification, or extra information
  • tone: the lightness or darkness of an area, which helps create a sense of dimension in the image
  • texture: how something feels or looks like it would feel if touched

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • Annotations can replace the need for a clear and accurate sketch.
