Week 4

Topic: Drawing Instruments & Materials (I)

Outline:

• Types of Instruments and Materials for Technical Drawing
• Uses of Drawing Instruments & Materials

Introduction:

The technical drawing is a universal language used for communication among technical people.

These are engineers, technicians, designers, builders, etc. It is a language expressed in terms of graphic illustrations which convey the idea of shape, size and other features of engineering components used in the manufacturing and construction industries.

We study drawing so that we can draw objects for other people to see and understand what we have in mind without talking to us or asking questions. It is therefore important that we learn the language of drawing. To do this, we start with the descriptions of instruments and materials that are used, and later we learn how to use them to produce drawings and how to take good care of them. To learn more, Click here

Topic: Types of buildings

Outline:

• Types of building
• Types of building materials

Types of Building:

Building types could also be identified by their construction design i.e. outlines and method of the arrangement of the walls and the height of the building. They are bungalows, duplex, detached, semi-detached, huts, high rise and skyscrapers.

1. Hut

This is a small unit of ancient design built with mud, usually round in a shape and usually covered with thatch. A conglomeration of these usually forms a village with one of them being fairly larger, rectangular or square shape which is occupied by the village head. Largely due to their unique and beautiful round shape, huts find their ways at strategic positions in modern hotels, such as suya spots, etc. Although still covered with thatch, they are constructed with other additional materials like timber and even metals. To learn more, Click here

Care of Drawing Instruments

Introduction:

Just as we need to take of ourselves, our clothing, houses and other property, so also do our drawing instruments need good care in order to prolong their service life and for safety reasons. Therefore, these precautions should be observed in respect of the following instruments:

Drawing board:

1. Do not use pins for fastening your paper to the board, use tapes or clips
2. Do not use blade or knife to cut something on the surface of your drawing board.
3. Always cover the surface with cardboard or thick paper.
4. Keep the drawing board in a safe place when not in use. To learn more, Click here
