In the beginning, we were introduced to the basics of orthographic drawing and ere taught how to use drafting instruments correctly. This step was important as it helped us build confidence in handling the tools and understanding the precision required in technical drawings. To get comfortable, we started with small drafting exercises, which allowed us to practice line quality, proportions and neatness.
Once we were used to the process, we moved on to larger scale drawings. At this stage, we learned how to represent a building or object through different views as the plan, section and elevation. This helped us understand how a three dimensional form can be represented in two dimensions for clarity and accuracy.
