A knowledge of drawing , as everyone
knows, is a basic tool in our everyday
professionals,the ability to sketch
and illustrate,even how crudely,has
always been considered an asset.
At home,or on the job, a working
knowledge of drafting could spell the
difference between the completion of a
task or not;the proper assembly of toys
,tools or simple machines according to
accompanying drawings or plans;and at
times ,getting a pay raise or a much
desired position or promotion.
In the service and manufacturing industries ,aside
from knowing the rudiments of drawing and
illustrating ,a formal background in drafting is
necessary.This is so because most jobs in the
service and manufacturing businesses call for
the interpretation and execution of drawings
,illustrations and plans.
The construction and fabrication trades require a higher level
of drafting ability.Here,a high degree of accuracy is needed in
making plans ,and in interpreting and executing them.Because
of the high costs involved ,as well as the risks to life and limb
that may be brought about by even the slightest mistake,
great care is exercised by the leaders of industry in
recruiting people who will work for them.
Indeed ,we may say that drafting ;known as the language of
meaningful lines ,is also the language of industry.Even without
knowing each other’s language, with standard illustrations and
plans,people can work together to produce the kind of job
expected of them.It is not uncommon to see people interpret and
execute plans made in another country without the exchange of
verbal communication beung spoken of them.
Not to be ignored in the discussions on drafting are the
people involved in the choice,mixture,and use of coloring
materials like water color,vegetable oil and other
chemical-based pigments.no matter how beautiful and
well-designed an object or article is,if not given the
appropriate finishing in terms of color and quality of
material,it becomes very cheap in appearance.Even its use
is oftentimes seriously impaired.
