 Eraser: Cleans without tearing paper.

EVALUATION

1. What is Technical Drawing?

2. Name four types of drawing instruments.

Basic Techniques of Handling and Caring for Drawing Instruments and


Materials

Proper care of drawing instruments is essential to prolong their service life.

Drawing Board

 Do not use pins to fasten paper. Use tapes or clips.


 Do not use blades or knives on the surface.
 Cover the surface with cardboard or thick paper.
 Store the drawing board safely when not in use.

Tee-Square

 Never use as a walking stick or cane.


 Avoid using pen-knives or blades along its edge.
 Hang when not in use.
 Keep clean at all times.

Set-Square, Scale Rules, Protractor, and French Curves

 Do not use sharp objects on their edges.


 Keep them away from fire.
 Store them safely after use to prevent damage.

Pair of Compasses or Dividers

 Store in a safe container when not in use.


 Do not use as paper holders.
 Avoid using needle points to punch holes.

Other Instruments

All other instruments should be kept in their packets. A cupboard should be available
for storing drawing boards and other instruments.

N/B: Refer to E-notes for more

WEEK 4

TOPIC: BOARD PRACTICE

Sub-Topic a: Basic board practice; setting drawing paper on the board

Sub-Topic II: Setting Drawing Paper on the Board

 Step 1: Place the drawing board on the table with the paper centered, leaving
equal margins all around. The Tee-square edge should be on the left side.
 Step 2: Place the tee-square on the paper and gently slide it to align the top
edge of the paper parallel to the edge of the tee-square. Ensure the stock of the
tee-square is firmly against the edge of the board.
 Step 3: Secure the paper with four pieces of adhesive tape or two metal clips at
each corner.
 Step 4: Gently slide the tee-square down to draw, without moving the paper.

Sub-Topic III: Sharpening of Drawing Pencils to conical point and knife edge

 For lettering and freehand sketching: sharpen to a ‘conical point’.


 For geometrical and engineering drawing: sharpen to a ‘chisel point’.
 Use the tee-square for horizontal lines and set-square to draw vertical lines.

Content Development:

 The instrument required for a good board practice


 Setting Drawing Paper on the Board
 Sharpening pencil to conical point and knife edge
 Using tee and set squares for drawing border lines and other horizontal and
vertical lines
 Positioning and drawing the title block
 Writing (freehand) legible letters and numerals

Sub-Topic I: The instruments required for good board practice

 Drawing board and Tee-square


 Set-square (30°, 60°, 45° angles)

Content Development (NOTES FOR SECOND LESSON/PERIOD TWO)

Using the tee and set squares for drawing Lines

This is a practical topic. The teacher should DEMONSTRATE this as much as possible
in class for students.

Types and Uses of Lines in Technical Drawing

 Thick continuous line: For visible outlines and edges.


 Thin continuous line: For dimension lines, projection lines, and construction
lines.
 Thin long chain line: For cutting and viewing planes as centre lines and path
lines for indicating movement.
 Thick continuous wavy line: For short break lines and boundary lines.
 Thin continuous wavy line: For limits of partial views.
 Thin ruled line with short zig-zags: For long break lines.
 Arrow heads: Used at the end of dimension lines.
 Thin short dashes: For hidden outlines and edges.
Refer to E-notes for picures of the above

READING ASSIGNMENT:

Students should read about Board Practice.

TEXT: NERDC Basic Technology for Junior Secondary Schools 1 Chapter 6 Pages 43-
48.

WEEK-END ASSIGNMENT:

Objective Test:

1. Tee-square is an instrument used for drawing parallel lines.


2. Pencils for lettering and freehand sketching should be sharpened to a conical
point.
3. Border lines are also called margin lines.
4. Block and Italic are two styles of lettering.
5. Thin continuous line can be used for edges and construction lines.

Essay Questions:

1. What is title block?


2. What is lettering?

Model Answers:

1. Title block gives necessary information such as designer’s name, title, date,
scale, etc., of the drawing.
2. Lettering is the art of writing letters and numbers in bold or lower case form on
drawings.

WEEK 6

TOPIC: BROAD PRACTICE

SUB-TOPICS:

(i) Positioning and drawing the title block.

(ii) Freehand writing of letters and numerals.

Positioning and drawing the title block

The title block provides essential information about the drawing such as designer’s
name, school, class, date, and scale. It is typically placed at the bottom right-hand
corner of the drawing paper.

Freehand writing of letters and numerals

Lettering involves writing letters and numbers in bold or lowercase form. It should be
uniform, legible, and well-proportioned. Freehand or instrumented lettering can be
used, and common styles are vertical or inclined.

EVALUATION:

1. Mention five drawing instruments required for good board practice.


2. What type of drawing instrument can be used for drawing parallel lines?
3. What is lettering?

WEEK 8
TOPIC: FREEHAND SKETCHING

SUB-TOPIC: Basic freehand techniques of drawing line, curves

Freehand sketching is a quick method to communicate the shape of an object using


only a pen or pencil. Techniques include drawing straight lines, curves, circles, and
irregular shapes.
