This article explores the transformative impact of drawing skills on children's approach to Design and Technology (D&T). Many children experience frustration when their drawn designs don't match their mental images. However, engaging in drawing activities, such as using isometric paper and single-point perspective techniques, fosters greater confidence. Through testimonials from Year 5 students who participated in drawing sessions, we see them express newfound abilities and a positive change in how they perceive their artistic skills. Witness their growth as they say, "I feel like I can draw now!"
