Very Good, Students!

2. MOTIVATION Who among you love to draw? (Students raising their

hands).

I think, most of you loves to draw, right?

Class, what is the difference between drawing and

drafting?

Student A? Drawing is a freestyle way

of sketching self-thought
ideas. While drafting on the
other hand is drawing
precisely and accurately
with the use of drawing
instruments.

Correct. Very Good!

Drawing is done through freehand while Drafting is an

accurate drawing with the use of drawing tools.

(The teacher will show a drawing on the board… The

first one is a drawing of a “flower”, while the second one
is a “house” drawn in a perspective view.)

What can you see in the drawing? (Student’s raising their

hands).

Yes, student C? Flower

House

4
 Ok. Good!

“Who can tell me which among these two represents an

image done through drawing/drafting?”

Yes, student D? Ma’am, the flower done

through drawing and the
house is done through
drafting.
Very good! Thank you, student D!

3. PRESENTATION I have here a video please watch and observe.

(video presentation)

Who are the characters in the video? Pencil & Eraser

Ok, Very Good!

Pencil and eraser represent as your parent.

So, if you were a drawing tool what would you like to be I would choose a ruler,
and why? because I want to guide my
younger siblings in their
school/ studies and I want to
guide them in the right
direction.

B. LESSON PROPER

1. DISCUSSION This afternoon you will learn about Drafting and its
common tools and materials. And you will also learn
how to properly care your drafting tools.

Drafting- is the study of the communication of ideas

through lines, symbols, codes, drawings, sketches, charts,
graphs, and maps.

Drawing – is an art of sketching an idea which

commonly done through freehand.

Common Drafting Tools and Materials

Tools

A. Pencil - the drawing pencil is one of the draftsman’s

most important tools categorized by different grades
of hardness and softness.

5
B. T-Square – it is used for drawing horizontal lines
and serves as a guide for triangles when drawing
other kinds of lines.

C. Triangles – these are used for drawing vertical and

oblique lines. Usually comes in 45° and the 30° x
60°. Ruler -is used to draw a straight line.

D. Triangular Scale – also known as “Architect’s

Scale”. Its purpose is to reproduce the dimensions of
an object full size on a drawing or enlarge them to
some regular proportion.

E. Lettering Pen or Speedball Pen - these are used for

drawing letters of different styles. Drawing

F. Compass – generally used for drawing arcs and

circles.

6
G. Dividers – are used for dividing lines into any
number of equal parts, and transferring
measurements and spacing points or lines.

H. Protractor – a semicircular scale divided into 180

equal parts each of which is called a degree, (°), and
is used for measuring and laying out arcs of circles
as well as angles that cannot be measured with the
45° or the 30° x 60° triangles.

I. French curve – this is used for drawing irregular

curves.

J. Erasers – used to remove smears, pencil or ink lines

and other unwanted marks

K. Erasing shield – made up of metal or celluloid with

irregular holes. It is useful to protect the rest of the
drawing when making an erasure.

 Materials

 Drawing Paper

 Masking Tape

 Pencil Sharpener

Proper Care of Drafting Tools

1. Before starting any drawing, be sure to keep the
hands clean and free from dirt.
2. Maintain the cleanliness of the working area,
especially the drawing table.
3. Do not use T-square, triangles and scale in any rough
surface.
4. After using the tools, instruments and equipment,
clean them first before keeping in a safe place.
5. Use the tools, instruments, and equipment properly.
6. Speedball pens should be washed and wiped out with
clean rags before storing them in an upright position
in a cylindrical tube.
7. Keep the pencils’ lead sharp.

2.GENERALIZATION What is the difference between drawing and drafting? Drawing is a freestyle way
of sketching self-thought
ideas. While drafting on the
other hand is drawing
precisely and accurately
with the use of drawing
instruments.

What are the common drafting tools?  Pencil

 T-Square
 Triangles
 Triangular Scale
 Speedball Pen

  Compass
 Dividers
 Protractor
 French curve
 Erasers

Why do you need to take care of your drafting tools? If you take good care of
them, they'll return the
favor. Keeping our drawing
tools properly stored,
cleaned, and maintained
will save our time and
money.

So class, any question regarding our topic? No, ma’am!

3. APPLICATION I have here pictures of the common drafting tools and

materials

What are you going to do is to choose one pictures and

explain its uses or function.

As I call your name please come in front and choose one

picture and explain.

4. VALUING Class, I want to test your skills and creativity in drawing

all you have to do is to draw any freehand drawing and a
perspective house using your drafting tools and materials.
