WHAT IS DESIGN CREATIVITY AND TECHNOLOGY

When you go on a holiday and take pictures of yourself, your family and the environment that is Art.

When you take a photograph for the purpose of solving a range of people’s problems, that is ‘Design

Creativity and Technology’.

Art

Design Creativity and Technology

The production of objects made in Design Creativity and Technology is carried out through the

creative strategy called the ‘Design Process’. You will use the design process later to produce your

products, but before we do that, let's have a look at workshop safety.

WORKSHOP SAFETY

The goal of our workplace is for you to come in, have fun, enjoy yourself and most importantly,

for you not to suffer any injury. But we need your help to achieve that.

ASSESSMENT 3: WORKSHOP SAFETY

To make sure that the workshop is a safe place to be in we all must follow the safety rules of the

room.

How: Listen to your instructor, identify the important words he/she is saying, then write why these

practices are important in the design and technology classroom.

1. Do not run

Hand-Sawing Tools

Hand-Sawing tools are tools that have the ability to cut through materials such as acrylic, timber and

metal. Sawing tools are different to cutting tools in that they have many small sharpened teeth that

work together and the user pushes and draws the saw back and forth. Most saws cut on the push

stroke and clear on the draw stroke.

Hand-sawing tools that you will be using in the technology room includes:

Coping saw

Tenon saw

Hacksaw

Coping Saw

Coping saws are used for cutting sharp of flat

curves in acrylic and thin timber such plywood. NOTE: A coping saw is different from other

saws. A coping saw is designed to cut

on the draw stroke only.

Coping saw

Tenon Saw

A tenon saw is a metal blade with a timber handle

on one end and a stiff metal backing along the top

of the blade with teeth cut into the bottom edge of

the blade.

The tenon saw is used in conjunction with a vice

and/or bench hook for cutting small pieces of

timber.

Tenon saw

Hacksaw

A hacksaw is a metal frame holding a blade that is

tensioned within the frame.

The hacksaw is most commonly used in

technology for cutting metal.

Hacksaw

T-type tap wrench

T-type tap wrenches have a small adjustable two-

jaw chuck on the end of a stem with a “T” handle.

The tap wrench is used to hold a tap so you can

put a thread into a piece of material.
