Jun. 1, 2009 - Advanced Complete-A-Sketch

This past school year Taylor did  Advanced Complete-A-Sketch from Insight Technical Education.  He really likes to draw and we thought this might be a good introduction to drafting type drawing and it was.  My Dad who has a background in Toolmaking and CAD was impressed when he saw the contents of this curriculum.

He learned to work with some simple drafting tools and draw 2D, 3D and isometric sketches as well as build models.  I didn’t assign him all the models in the curriculum as I knew he loves to draw but from building a owl model for science fair with him I’d learned he doesn’t love models quite so much.

 I don’t know if I’ll use this with my other kids but I could which is a nice feature.  You can print off as many as you want for your own use. 

The year before last he did painting and comics for his elective, this past year the Complete-a-Sketch and now planning for next year he’s switched gears a little and is doing some Genetics and DNA investigations.

It’s always fun to give them some “fun” school besides the stuff they have to do!
