TRANSCRIPT
Standard Grade Graphic Communication
The Illustration and Presentation Folio
Reminder :-
Your Standard Grade course consists of 3 elements >
> Drawing Abilities (DA) are assessed in an exam
> Knowledge and Interpretation (KI) is assessed in an exam
> Illustration and Presentation (IP) work is too difficult to put in an exam, so >>it is assessed from a collection of drawings (a folio) which you will prepare over a period of several weeks.
Your book will tell you everything you need to know about your folio - from page 51 onwards.
This is the list of all the skills (or “learning outcomes”) you have to cover.
2D and 3D Charts and Graphs (at least one computer-generated)
Selective application of Colour
Shading Tone and Rendering
Layout and Lettering
Display
Modelling
CAD
CAD using a Library
General Draughtsmanship
This version of the list ->>
-->> will allow you keep track of your own progress by putting drawing numbers in the boxes as you complete
them. You will have your own copy to keep up to date.
Notice that it even tells you what page in your book to look up for information.
2D and 3D graphs and charts
Note that, with good planning, high quality items in this category could count towards the Layout and Lettering and Display categories as well.
3 items required - at least one must be computer-generated
Shading Tone and Rendering
Layout and Lettering
Display
These skills can all be covered using the same items in your folio
Selective Application of Colour
Selective Application of Colour
To achieve the requirement in this section you will be expected to produce work created using various colour mediums eg colour pencils, pastels, colour marker-pens, and a computer illustration package.
You will also have to write a Colour Theory Report explaining the rationale behind the colours you have chosen for one of the pieces.
Modelling
For this you have to show graphically how a 3 dimensional object would be made. This requirement is most often achieved by drawing the development of some type of packaging.
To get a good grade in this category, you would have to show the steps leading up to the final design.
Pieces of modelling work might well contribute to the requirement for selective application of colour, layout and lettering, and display etc.
CAD
In this category you will be expected to produce both 2D and 3D drawings with name boxes, dimensions and other technical detail using AutoCAD.
CAD using a Library
You will be expected to produce a CAD drawing composed, in part, of pre-drawn items imported from a collection of other files - a “library”.
In the above drawing, the bathroom outline was drawn. Then the shower, sink, loo, and bath were imported from the library and resized, re-orientated and repositioned as required.
General Draughtsmanship
Your teacher will assess this by picking your best pieces of work from all the categories.
