Activity 2.5 Sketching Practice
In activity 2.5 we practice two of the main types of sketching that we had worked on in class. We had worked on perspective sketching in which you draw from a vanishing pointin order to form the outline of the object.
Isometric sketching is where you draw isometric graph paper most likely in a way that shows the top view, front view, and the side view of the object. In isometric sketching, the three sides that meet up at a point are all at 120 degrees.

Conclusion Questions
1. What is a technical sketch? What is an artistic sketch? How are the two similar and how are they different? A technical sketch is a sketch that is drawn to describe the parts of a product for manufacturing. An artistic sketch is a sketch that is drawn for creative purpose in order to depict meaning, to inflict emotion or simply for fun. The two are similar because they both use certain principles of sketching like tonal shading, perspective sketching, and sketching from different views. The two are different because technical sketches are required to be neat and able to be understood by anyone in the same way but with artistic sketches a person can draw in any way they want and sometimes the meaning behind the sketch is clear but other times different people understand it I'm different ways.
2. How do you envision applying your sketching skills in other classes? I envision applying your sketching skills in other classes by using my sketching skills to accurately draw pictures when taking notes in different classes like math or science. Also, having sketching skills would also help with certain projects in different classes where I would have to draw a map or a diagram to explain something.
3. How do you envision applying your sketching skills in college? If I major in architecture and art at Yale University, I envision applying my sketching skills to create artwork that speaks to people and that has meaning and I envision applying my sketching skills to draw blueprints that easily interpret what design I have in mind. If I major in mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I envision applying my sketching skills to communicate my ideas for products and inventions.
4. How would you teach sketching to a student next year? I would teach sketching to a student next year by starting with basic artistic sketching and shading before showing them isometric sketching, which I believe is the easiest type of sketching, and one point perspective sketching and lastly introducing two and three point perspective sketching and multiview sketching. Once they are comfortable with the different types of sketching I would show them how to create complex objects through sketching before leaving them to explore the sketching world alone.
