Drawing & Sketching
Getting students to make simple drawings and sketches
of ideas serves many purposes. Tech ed students become
graphically literate to communicate design ideas for
eventual fabrication. Math and science students often
accompany rough sketches with words to get their ideas
across to others. In MOVIE 1 you can hear MIT's Ernesto
Blanco describing some of these advantages:
- Visualize new ideas without building them.
- Compile collections of ideas quickly.
- Anticipate problems before fabricating (making)
them.
- Render design ideas that are too complicated to
hold in memory.
- Illustrate parts of a design that are not visible
until built.
