[Design and Technology] Product Design and Technology examination: Human figure shape template

[Jacinta O'Leary]

HI Kathy

My understanding is a shape template is like a Mathomat or perhaps a
miniature French curve template. I have pasted 1 image of French curves and
 2 images of Mathomat type templates below. The second one (blue) is from
kookaburra.com.au and can be ordered online. I would be suggesting to my
students to take in a shape template that has both straight lines and
curves. Students will also need practice in using a shape template to
assist them in their drawing, as some students may be better off without
one! Note: it is not mandatory for students to take a template into the
exam.

hope this helps, Jacinta
