Evidence of Work:
In engineering sketching is a very important skill because it helps visualize and design objects or ideas. It is quick and gets all thoughts onto paper before they disappear. I went through a series of videos and practice challenges that helped me build my drawing skills for our capstone project. While watching the videos I would take notes and practice drawing whenever I could. The skills I learned about 3D drawing on 2D surfaces will really help me sketch out our own designs.

Sketching Notes and Drawings

Content:
Orthographic projection - a drawing that projects an object on 2D paper that uses parallel and perpendicular lines. There is no vanishing points and all lines are straight.
Isometric Projection - a way to draw 3D shapes on 2D surfaces.
One Point Perspective - A way to project 3D shapes on a 2D surface. Uses a single point where all the lines come together to represent the horizon.
Two Point Perspective - Drawing a 3D picture on a 2D surface using two points where the lines come together.
Cartesian Coordinate System - A graph that has an X, Y, and Z axis. The X and Y axis are the same as a regular graph but the X axis adds the forward and back motion to make the objects 3D.
Angle Projection - Drawing method that takes a 3D object and sketches it as a 2D object. There are normally different side views drawn as well.
Third Angle Projection - Shows a 3D object as 2D side views by projecting the lines onto each view to finish the drawing. Normally there is a plan or top view, front view, right view, and left view.
