  1. CORE REVISION SHEETS

  2. Papers and boards revision sheet Plotting data Cartridge paper Bleedproof paper is smooth and has a special coating to reduce absorbency When drawing with a marker pen or writing with ink, the paper keeps the ink on the surface which creates a crisper line or mark It resists bleeding and feathering It’s lightweight at around 70-80gsm Bleedproof paper Grid paper has printed squares or isometric grids These are printed with feint lines that enable the user to draw graphs and diagrams, plot mathematical functions or add scientific data Lines can be printed in different weights How does grid paper help with accuracy when drawing a plan, for instance the layout of a new kitchen? • A thick, quality paper with a slight texture It’s used particularly for pencil and ink drawings and paintings Available in a range of weights, a heavier paper at 200gsmis more suitable for watercolour and acrylic painting Foil lined board Corrugated cardboard Layout paper and tracing paper Corrugated board is made up of one or two outer flat layers and a corrugated layer Commonly used for delivery containers and packaging It’s lightweight, but strong With a smooth surface, it can easily be printed on Suggest a common use in the catering industry for corrugated cardboard • This is made from a stiff card lined with aluminium foil on one side Cartons containing liquid are foil lined making it food safe The card also has a waxy coating to make it resistant to oils and liquids Where else might you findfoil lined card? In the early stages of planning for a painting or design, artists may use layout paper and tracing paper for working sketches and ideas Layout paper is lightweight and smooth with greater opacity than tracing paper It accepts pencil and most other media well • Tracing paper is smooth and sold in pads and rolls • Ranging from 40gsm up to 280gsm for specialist uses • It is made in the same way as ordinary paper, but is passed through a bath of acid which partially dissolves the paper • This increases the translucency, and it also increases the stability of the paper • As well as for tracing, suggest where else you may find this type of paper in use

  3. Papers and boards revision sheet 2 Solid white board (Mount board) Foam board or foamcore Duplex board Duplex board is made up of two layers The exterior will have a wax coatingto provide a moisture barrier and give it a glossy sheen Its smooth white surface makesit suitable for offset printing Its weight, 200 – 500gsm, also makes it ideal for folding and die cutting • Foam board consists of a sheet of polystyrene foam sandwiched betweenouter layers of paper • Rigid and lightweight, it is often used as a backing material for graphic signage • It cuts cleanly with a sharp blade making it very suitable for architectural models or prototypes • Solid white board is a high quality board with a bright white finish • Weights range from 200gsm – 500gsm • It’s strong, smooth surface makes it suitable for book covers and product packagingIt accepts printing and surface finishes Ink jet card • Designed for use with an inkjet printer,the inks sit on the surface of the paper • With a special coating this increasesthe stability of the print • A good smooth surface, ensures even ink coverage and absorbency • Available in weights ranging from 120-350gsm • A matt or gloss coating enables a variety of images to be printed

  5. Timber core revision sheet Coniferous (Evergreen) Deciduous Most coniferous trees have needles, are evergreen, and they keep their needles all year round Softwood trees grow faster than hardwood trees making it relatively cheap and readily available The grain is wider making it more absorbent What problems could this absorbency cause with the timber? Larch • Deciduous trees drop their leaves in the autumn and new leaves grow in spring • Hardwood is slower growing and is therefore more expensive • Sought after for its variety of colours and grains, it has good aesthetical and physical properties • It has a closer grain, making it more dense and hardwearing

  6. Timber core revision sheet 2

  7. Hardwoods Softwoods O Deciduous trees, lose leaves in Autumn Coniferous trees (Evergreen) Manufactured board

  8. Metals and alloys core revision sheet

  9. Metals and alloys core revision sheet 2

  10. Metals and alloys core revision sheet 3

  11. Ferrous Non- ferrous O No iron, non- magnetic Contains iron, magnetic Alloys Contains 2 or more metals

  12. Polymers core revision sheet

  13. Polymers Polymers can be split into 2 categories 1. Thermosetting plastics – Rigid . Once they are formed they cannot be reformed.

  14. 2. Thermoforming plastics – Flexible when heat is applied. Can be reheated – will return to original shape, but will lose elasticity.

  15. Polymers processes – deforming plastic Blow moulding Injection moulding

  16. Textiles Textiles can be split into 6 categories 1. Natural fibres (plant based) 1. Natural fibres (animal based)

  17. 2. Synthetic fibres

  18. 3. Blended and mixed fibres 4. Woven fabric

  19. 5. Non-woven fabric 6. Knitted textiles
