As a result, preparing students for learning in the technology subjects is not just about teaching towards the technology but towards the skills that are fundamental to the technology subjects and are transferable into other areas of their learning. Skills that encourage the student to solve problems through creation, innovation, communication, collaboration and exploration, all of which are developed in an active learning environment where students can advance their ideas from conception to realisation. Graphics is recognised as the underpinning language of the technology disciplines and is transferable across a wide range of subjects such as mathematics, science and art. Students will use a variety of media to communicate their ideas and designs through this unique language. Throughout the course, students will explore the geometric world to gain an appreciation of the importance of graphics in the world around them. They will develop cognitive and practical skills such as graphical communication, spatial visualisation, creative problem-solving, design capabilities and modelling, both physically and through the use of computer-aided design. Students will develop their creativity as they investigate and solve design challenges. During the problem-solving process, they will work with their peers to refine their ideas from an abstract concept to a final, detailed, drafted design. Abstraction, and spatial reasoning are fundamental to this process; graphics provides multiple and varied opportunities for students to develop these high level cognitive and creative skills in engaging contexts. Accurate technical drawings are essential in the design and manufacture of components and artefacts. The need for precise communication in the preparation of a functional document distinguishes technical drawing from the expressive drawing of the visual arts. Producing accurate drawings requires significant attention to detail and a patient and resilient mind-set. Students will continually review and reflect on their working drawings developing strategies for improvement as they progress. ]]> 2023-10-02 11:47:53 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728418156 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728419062 The study of Graphics at junior cycle aims to: • develop the student’s creativity, spatial ability, and capacity to reason and communicate ideas through engagement with abstract and applied geometric problem-solving activities • encourage the development of the cognitive and practical dexterity skills associated with graphical communication • instil an appreciation of the role of graphics in the world around them • equip all students to make judgements on the best mode through which to represent their ideas and solutions • encourage the production of drawings that promotes the skills of communicating through graphics • develop students cognitive and practical skills associated with modelling and graphical communication ]]> 2023-10-02 11:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728419062 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728419738 2023-10-02 11:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728419738 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728419970 2023-10-02 11:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728419970 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728420264 2023-10-02 11:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728420264 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728420398 2023-10-02 11:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728420398 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728420548 2023-10-02 11:49:55 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728420548 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728420815 2023-10-02 11:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728420815 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728420986 2023-10-02 11:50:17 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728420986 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728421404 2023-10-02 11:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728421404 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728421753 2023-10-02 11:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728421753 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728421924 2023-10-02 11:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728421924 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728422347 2023-10-02 11:51:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728422347 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728422716 2023-10-02 11:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728422716 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728426853 2023-10-02 11:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728426853 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728427655 2023-10-02 11:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728427655 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728427839 2023-10-02 11:55:46 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728427839 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728428373 2023-10-02 11:56:12 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728428373 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728428928 2023-10-02 11:56:43 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728428928 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728429748 2023-10-02 11:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728429748 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728430342 2023-10-02 11:58:04 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728430342 emccarthy67 https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728431267 2023-10-02 11:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/emccarthy67/lsmt4m4z9eynex0q/wish/2728431267
