DESIGN & DRAWING FOR PRODUCTIONTechnology Education

Description:The ultimate goal to be achieved of Design and Drawing for Production is to equip each student with the necessary knowledge and skills needed to reach full academic potential. Design and Drawing for Production, encourages visual problem-solving using a common graphic language to describe forms in the human-made environment. To enable the student to analyze, creatively design and critically evaluate these forms, the syllabus requires researching for historical precedents, cultural references, environmental impact and future vision. 

Objectives:To understand that creative problem-solving is the essence of good design, stressing that design is the creative element and technical drawing is the expression of design. The best designs turn disadvantages into anesthetic and functional advantages. The best drawings result from the application of the appropriate methodology and skillful manipulation of tools. Brainstorming and critical thinking activities can encourage this type of understanding. 

Objectives:To use a combination of conceptual, critical, quantitative and rational thinking modes in the design-solving process. This includes a special emphasis on visual and spatial relationships as a skill that is teachable and necessary for quality work.  

Objectives:To encourage an interaction with the 'real world' by using field study, resource material from the design professions such as journals, texts, periodicals, as well as the tools professionals employ to save time and promote quality. The form and function of natural objects could be examined. To use computers in correlation with designs and drawings. To challenge the student to take risks in design solutions.
