3. Unlike other subjects, objectives
of drawing cannot be obtained
without the presence of drawing
instruments.
Each tools and materials have
their own functions and uses in
completing a drawing.
4. Any activity with the aid of
these mechanical instruments is

MECHANICAL DRAWING - is

of prescribed mechanical
instruments.
