All four worksheets 2D to 3D and 3d-2D Isometric and Orthogonal.
Two of the worksheets give the students *Orthogonal 2D drawings with space is left for students to draw the 3D isometric version of these shapes. Students can also add tone to these drawings. The other two worksheets begin with the 3D Isometric drawings and students have to come up with the three view 2D orthogonal drawings. All four sheets have solutions included. There are 48 questions in total but please be aware that the total number of solids used is actually 24 because the sheets go in

SIMPLE STEP BY STEP Drawing using the 'crating' technique "Group A"
Engagement: Students love the empowerment they experience through developing drawings of products through the Crating process. Included: Six scaffolded products to draw each of which is based on a cube. Skill Development: Students begin from the cube with light lines and gradually break up the form eventually adding darker lines, detail and rendering. Using an isometric grid is a great way to develop these skills which can later be applied to Two Point Perspective! Understanding: An appli

Design Process Proforma
Students love and need structure on the one hand, and freedom on the other - this is why setting up a clear design process is so motivating for them! A set of print-out sheets which are designed make it clear for students to work through a stepped design process. This set of pro-formas is highly suitable for applying Isometric and Orthogonal Drawing skills and particularly with respect the my 3D design briefs. It can also be used for my stamp design brief as well as other 2D design projects

Design Brief: Desk Tidy
This straight forward Design brief is intended to allow students to apply their Isometric and Orthogonal drawing skills and I would suggest if going through my earlier lessons on Isometric drawing to support this first (if students don't already have this knowledge). (also possibly the worksheets where students read orthogonal drawings to translate into isometric) It would suit Materials Design as well as Visual Arts. It is particularly intended for Visual Communication and Design and offers the

Middle / Senior Instant lesson - Designer Style Lettering: Raising the X Height
An instant lesson where students can learn and practice a lettering style which is has relaxed designer/architect style about it. (echoes the typography of Charles Rennie Machintosh and the 'Glasgow Style' of design from the 1890's) - Sometimes copied by architects today when annotating their designs. Included is the following which are all on grid paper: - A sample Alphabet. - A Blue Pencil version for students to trace. - A 30% transparent version for students to trace. - A freehand versi

VISUAL LITERACY GAME CHANGER. For 2D/3D clarity - This is now what I start with.
******** I NOW USE THIS RESOURCE BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE ********* - So Simple but profoundly helpful for student learning -This resources helps ALL students understand 2D - 3D Faster and with Greater Clarity. This teaching tool, specifically helps students gain a clearer grasp of Consistent Proportion and Equivalent Views as they develop their drawings from 2D to 3D. (or reversed) Understanding: Students will experience and understand; 4 Units 2D equates to 4 units 3D. A

Middle or Senior School activity - Drawing Freehand Isometric Solids w/o Curves
An instant Middle school activity. It gives students easy access to working in 3D. An example sheet with an explanation that helps students draw and understand basic isometric solids. It includes an approach to rendering them which mimics the approach of Product Designers. This would suit Art or Design Teachers wanting to introduce students to product design. Is a fantastic combination of understanding technical drawing while offering opportunities for creativity.

Teaching style
I believe that Engagement is central in what we do and my highest moment in my teaching career was when a year 11 student said to me. "I try harder in your subject than any other and yet I do not think about what Grade I am going to get."
I believe that in all areas of education specifying an outcome (like we do with design brief) but leaving freedom for the 'how we get there' creates the highest levels of motivation for students.
The other prime motivator is mastery and so to teach skills (with a clear understanding) is also extremely important for engagement
