4. Motivation (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?

Yes, student C?

Flower and house

Ok. Good!

“Who can tell me which among these two

represents an image done through
drawing/drafting?”

Yes, student D?

4
 Ma’am, the flower done
through drawing and the
house is done through
drafting.

Very good! Thank you, student D!

So, what is the difference between drawing

and drafting?

Yes, Student E?
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.

Very Good!

5. Presentation Today, we are going to discuss about the

“Common Drafting Tools and Materials”. But
before that I have here a video please watch
and observe.

“Pencil & Eraser” (video presentation)

Pencil & Eraser
Who are the characters in the video?

Ok, Very Good!

Pencil and eraser represent as your parent.

So, if you were a drawing tool what would

you like to be and why?

Yes, student F?
I would choose a ruler,
because I want to guide
my younger siblings in
their school/ studies and
I want to guide them in
the right direction.

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.

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.

7
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.

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

8
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.

What are the common drafting tools?

 Pencil

 Triangles
 Triangular Scale
 Speedball Pen
 Compass
 Dividers
 Protractor
 French curve
 Erasers

Why do you need to take care of your drafting

tools?

Yes, student C? 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!

I have here pictures of the common drafting

3. Application tools and materials What are you going to do is
to choose one pictures and explain its uses or
function.

10
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.
