In this activity, you will sketch a variety of objects whatever paper you have at home. The goal is to produce hand-drawn representations of real objects that closely resemble the actual objects and that appear three-dimensional. In this activity, you will focus on obtaining the correct shape and proportions of each object from a single “straight-on” or orthographic view and add shading to produce a more realistic three-dimensional effect. You will start with simple forms and progress to more complicated products. Some examples of student-produced sketches are provided.

Please answer the question.

Please submit one properly written paragraph, contrasting the IB Design Process with your process while creating your 3D model.

Using items from around your house, make a 3D model of something that shows what you are passionate about.

Open the Google Form below and choose an answer for each question that represents the step in your design process that you implemented this step. In other words, in what order did you complete your project. If you do not understand the question, ask me for help.
