Subject Description

Design provides opportunities for students to investigate a field of visual arts in a complex and rich way. Opportunities to investigate practices in Design contribute to a student’s creative and interpretive achievements and the design works they produce. Students develop skills in inquiry and design processes and innovative thinking to shape ideas and apply design techniques, languages, materials, processes and technologies to their own work.

Content

Students will develop a folio based on a design brief. They will produce both practical and theoretical work, with an emphasis on the design process leading to a negotiated end product being developed through a project-based approach to learning. Each project will explore and demonstrate experimentation in a variety of techniques, linked to the specific design project’s needs.

Students will study the following areas of Design: graphic and visual communication, product design and environmental design (e.g. architectural and urban design).

Assessment

  • Assessment Type 1: Folio
