DRAFTING COURSES
DRAFTING & DESIGN 10: (TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION 10) -- DRAFTING10
Prerequisite: None
AutoCad Level A – This course is designed for the Beginner (Level A) student. This is a course for those interested in careers such as
drafting, engineering, interior design, industrial design, architecture, carpenter, steel fabricator, cabinet maker, electrician, plumbing,
heating or any one of the numerous other professions, which demand knowledge of drafting. Level A will explore the elements and
techniques used for sketching, designing, modeling and creating mechanical and basic architectural drawings. This course covers the
basics of board drafting then quickly moves on to 2-D Computer Assisted Drafting and Design (CADD) using AutoCad software.
This course may be transferred to a Drafting & Design 11 credit if not needed as a grade 10 credit. Students will be expected to create
a Portfolio of their work in analog or digital format.
DRAFTING & DESIGN 11 -- DRAFTING A
Prerequisite: None
AutoCad Level A – This course is designed for the Beginner (Level A) student. This is a course for those interested in careers such as

basics of board drafting then quickly moves on to 2-D Computer Assisted Drafting and Design (CADD) using AutoCad software.
Students will be expected to create a Portfolio of their work in analog or digital format.
DRAFTING & DESIGN 12 -- DRAFTING B
Prerequisite: Drafting & Design 10 or 11
AutoCad Level B – This course is designed for the Intermediate (Level B) student interested in drafting, architectural design,
engineering (civil, mechanical, electrical or aero), technologies (civil, electronic, mechanical), woodwork, or the metal trades. For the
architectural portion of this course, students will draw a set of floor plans, elevations and perspective drawings of a single floor
residential home. For the mechanical portion, students will learn the basics and move on to more advanced drafting in 3 view drawing
(Orthographic), perspective drawing, developments, intersections and 3D solid modeling. Students will be using CADD software
(Computer Assisted Drafting and Design software – AutoCad). Students will be expected to create a Portfolio of their work in analog
or digital format.
DRAFTING & DESIGN 12 -- ADVANCED DRAFTING C
Prerequisite: Drafting and Design 12, Level BAutoCad Level C – This course is for the student wishing to further their knowledge in drafting. The focus of the architectural portion
includes a drawing of a larger two floor residential home or a small 2 floor commercial building using Chief Architect software. The
focus of the mechanical portion will be mainly on the three dimensional capabilities of the AutoCad software using solid modeling.
Students will be using CADD software (Computer Assisted Drafting and Design software – AutoCad). Students will be expected to
create a Portfolio of their work in analog or digital format.
Students may decide to build on the Drafting and Design 12 courses by choosing to continue in the following additional courses that
provide a more in-depth study of Drafting and Design. Other Drafting and Design courses, which have provincially prescribed
learning outcomes, include the following:
• Drafting and Design 12: Engineering and Mechanical Drafting
• Drafting and Design 12: Advanced Design• Drafting and Design 12: Technical Visualization
• Drafting and Design 12: Architecture and Habitat Design

ANIMATION COURSES
COMPUTER ANIMATION 10 -- ANIMATE 10
(BA ANIMATION 11)
Prerequisite: None
3D Studio Max Level A - This course is for the beginner (Level A) who is interested in using the computer for its 3D graphic
(drawing) and animating capabilities. It is intended for students with a background, talent and interest in Art, Photography, Drafting
and/or Animation. This computer animation course concentrates on 3D Studio Max, plus other video editing and graphic software
programs. Special effects like explosions, melting, bouncing, fireworks, architectural walk-through and morphing may be explored as
well. Productions/Digital Portfolios will be output to DVD with sound. This course satisfies the applied skills requirement for
graduation.
COMPUTER ANIMATION 11 -- ANIMATE A
(BA ANIMATION 11)
Prerequisite: None
3D Studio Max Level A - This course is for the beginner (Level A) who is interested in using the computer for its graphic (drawing)
and animating capabilities. It is intended for students with a background, talent and interest in Art, Photography, Drafting and/or
Animation. This computer animation course concentrates on 3D Studio Max, plus other video editing and graphic software programs.
Special effects like explosions, melting, bouncing, fireworks, architectural walk-through and morphing may be explored as well.
Productions/Digital Portfolios will be output to DVD with sound. This course satisfies the fine arts or applied skills requirement for
graduation.
COMPUTER ANIMATION 12 -- ANIMATE B
(ICT: DIGITAL MEDIA DEVELOPMENT 11)
Prerequisite: Computer Graphics and Animation 10 or 11
3D Studio Max Level B - This course is for the Intermediate (Level B) student who is interested in advancing their skills in the use of
the computer for its graphic (drawing) and animating capabilities. This computer animation course concentrates on 3D Studio Max,
plus other video editing and graphic software programs. The course will give students a good grounding in the basics of animation
and prepare them for admission to an animation school. Productions / Digital Portfolios will be output to DVD with sound. (Note:
COMPUTER ANIMATION 12 -- ADVANCED ANIMATE C
(ICT: DIGITAL MEDIA DEVELOPMENT 12)
Prerequisite: Computer Graphics and Animation 12
3D Studio Max Level C - This course is for the Advanced (Level C) student who is interested in advancing their skills in the use of the
computer for its graphic (drawing) and animating capabilities. This computer animation course concentrates on 3D Studio Max, plus
some video editing and graphic software programs. The course is more open-ended for the student serious about animating and
wanting to explore the software and their own capabilities. Students will be given the opportunity to prepare and present a plan of
what they will be exploring throughout the year and how they will present this. There will also be an opportunity for students
interested in game creation where they will create characters, backgrounds and setup game play. Students will be expected to present
a portfolio of their learning in computer graphics and animation, which will prepare them for admission to an animation school.
Productions / Digital Portfolios will be output to DVD with sound.
