The Clan Story

Bear Clan

Nothing existed at the beginning, except an abundance of water. It flowed everywhere, eventually pushing all life out of it. In time, the water receded and land surfaced. Vegetation sprouted. Forests reached towering heights. In the recesses of these forests, animals and birds dwelt. All life spoke the same language

From the life-giving waters, the Bear Clan rose and came ashore. They peered about the dry world, and thought that they were the first people here. But they were quickly disappointed when they came upon the tracks of others which were embedded in the soft mud, leading out and away from the water.

What students learn and do

Learning objectives

Students will be able to…

  1. Describe and demonstrate what perspective and orthographic drawings are.
  2. Identify the different types of perspective drawings.
  3. Develop an understanding of representing space through graphical form.

STEM activities

The importance of drawings as a means of problem solving has been emphasized in many studies. This module focuses on spatial reasoning skills through visualization. Students will learn the basics of sketching, architectural drafting and architectural visualization. Students will focus on ideation through 3D visualization. Studies have shown that training in drawing improves spatial skills of STEM students.

  • Ideation through 3D visualization
