Prompt

In this session, you will continue to sketch and create quick "sketch models". A sketch model is a rough prototype made with readily available materials (paper, cardboard, tape, glue, etc.) that demonstrates the simplest version of your idea in physical form.

Instructions

Before you start, go through the Prototyping Really Fast slideshow and watch the sketching video above. 

Part I: Sketching

Start by sketching 3 distinct versions of your project idea. Typically, these are quick drawings that show the general form of the object and how people might engage with it. Sketching is a helpful tool for clarifying your ideas to yourself, as well as communicating your ideas to your teammate and teacher. 

Part II: Prototyping - Sketch Models

You will make 3 quick sketch models that represent distinct approaches to your idea. We encourage you to be really creative here. Try out a variety of prototyping approaches and explore a variety of materials! 

Deliverable

Create a post in your "Project" folder that contains the following for each of the 3 sketch models:

1. 3 different sketches that represent different approaches to your project idea 
2. At least three photographs of each sketch model. Photography is an important part of representing design concepts, and each photograph should tell a story about your idea, and how someone would engage with it. 
3. A 2-3 sentence description of the sketch model that addresses the following questions:
   1. What did you learn by making this prototype? 
   2. What specific experience are you hoping to create for viewers of your project?
