Lesson slides on sketching exercise for balance-it project

1. This is because
We need to know if we are able to test the mock-up with items for balancing
Success Criteria
I know I have succeeded if I can
Balance the mock-up and think of design opportunities related to the mock-up
 Learning Intention
 Today we are learning to
 Sketch and think through design opportunities by using the template given
 This is because
 We need to know if we are able to come up with different ideas that uses balancing as a
function of the product
 Success Criteria
 I know I have succeeded if I can
 Sketch a 3d rendered product that can balance things

2.  Needs Analysis through sketches
 Choose any object from the previous page and sketch the ideas that come to mind on the
template. Ask yourself these questions as you sketch:
 What objects can be held at the surprising angle?
 How can the idea be imaginative? Can things be done differently? Other than a mere display,

5.  Instructions
 Use the template
on page 6 and
sketch four
different items that
can be balanced.
 Examples are
shown on the next
2 slides.
