As I sit on my PC, I noticed a small sheet of paper with some drawings on it, particularly ortographic drawings showing three-dimensional properties. I refer to the front view, the side view and the end view.
I learned about these types of drawings when I was in first year high, many many years ago. I went to a vocational high school and we spent one hour every morning in Drawing, a subject that I enjoyed most.
At first we did freehand drawing, that is, without using rulers or any straight edge. So we did horizontal lines, vertical lines, diagonal lines, etc. From there we proceeded to ortographic drawing using our T-squares, triangles and rulers.
Learning to do this type of drawing helps one to visualize things from a three-dimensional perspective. To this day, these early-in-life lessons are still valuable. They are foundation lessons that we can utilize throughout our whole lifetime, practically.
Like reading, writing and arithmetic which are believed to be the very foundation of all learning, drawing skills are also useful for visualizing, designing, creating things that benefit people.
What other things have we learned from high school which are still useful today?
