Drawing Simple Objects Using Orthographic Projection - JSS1 Basic technology Lesson Note

When learning to draw using orthographic projection, students start with simple geometric shapes such as cubes, cylinders, and prisms. The process involves the following steps:

1. Visualising the Object: Understand the three-dimensional form of the object and how it can be represented in two dimensions..
2.  Selecting Views: Choose the views that will best describe the object, typically the front, top, and side views
3. Drawing the Front View: Start with the front view, detailing the height and width of the object.
4. Drawing the Top View: Align the top view directly above the front view, representing the width and depth.
5.  Drawing the Side View: Align the side view directly beside the front view, showing the height and depth.
6. Adding Details: Include necessary details like edges, corners, and any features specific to the object.
7. Ensuring Alignment: Make sure that all views are aligned correctly to maintain consistency and accuracy in the dimensions.
