Context:

Many products made in our province are in demand in the local and international
market for the genuine design, creativity and quality of the product.

To make a product, we must think of a unique design to improve its appearance

and marketability by using techniques and strategies in order to cater to the demands
of the market.

You must have a deep knowledge of your product and the product of your
competitor entrepreneurs so that you will always strive to be different and unique.
People tend to get bored or not interested in buying the same products without
innovations. You must know the strength and weaknesses of your products. A product
is only expected to be saleable at a certain period of time but this could be prevented if
some strategies and methods will be applied in enhancing and decorating products. You
must never stop inventing new and better ways to enhance our products for the
business to keep going. You have to deliver the quality and marketable products for the
satisfaction of your customers.

DRAWING TECHNIQUES

A good design must be enhanced to be more attractive to customers. As you have

learned the techniques in sketching, outlining and shading in grade 4, you can be able
to apply these in enhancing your finished products. You can get the ideas on how to
innovate your products through the internet, magazine and craft books. Also visit
furniture shops and bazaars to inspire you how these products are enhanced. But in
this time of pandemic viewing the online sites for handicrafts can be helpful.
Enhancement of the product design is very important to improve its appearance and
marketability by using drawing techniques of:

1. Sketching - is the drawing of a rough outline or just an idea of something you

want to draw. It is a freehand drawing on the surface of the product. By using
your creativity and imagination you want to draw. It is a freehand drawing on the
surface of the product. By using the colors you can create a beautiful and
attractive design on a product.
2. Shading - creates shades of lights and dark patterns in a composition or design
thus creating illusions of space and distance.

3. Outlining - is the process of marking the outer contours of any shape or objects
by using lines. A drawing in which only the contours of a product are seen, thus
emphasizing the shape of a design.

Finishing Materials

In order to finish the materials we need to collect the following materials.

1. Sandpaper
It is made of grit, usually ground silica, flint, quartz, or Emery glued to thick paper or
cloth. Sandpaper for wood is called flint paper and for metal it is called emery cloth at
present we have water proof abrasive for metal. Both are used for smoothing rough
surface of projects.

2. Shellac
It is a good finish for many projects. It comes from the excreta of insects called luc bug.
The color is yellow and appears like small pieces of cellophane. Before it is used, it is
mixed with denatured alcohol.

3. Varnish

copal gum dissolved in pure boiled linseed oil. Copal gum comes from resin of pine trees
buried several feet below the ground. Linseed oil comes from oil of cotton seed.

4. Paint
Paint is another finishing materials that is always used
because of its beautiful color and a good protector of materials. The body of paint is a
mixture of four elements: pigment, vehicle, thinner, and drier. It comes in cans of
different sizes.

5. Lacquer
This is synthetic product which is largely used in all manufactured articles. This
finishing material could retain the natural color of the material to which it is applied.
Like varnish and shellac it is sold in cans and shellac it is sold in cans and bottles. The
solvent used is lacquer thinner.

6. Stain (tina)
Stain is a coloring material which is applied to the surface of a wood to improve its
