Year 10 - Design and Visual Communication
Course Description
This course develops students' visual communication skills, refining their design development, drawing and modelling skills. Students develop digital design practice alongside traditional modes using SketchUp, Fusion 360 and Adobe software, as well as engaging in discussions about design factors that will help them justify design choices as they go.
A final presentation of the year's work is produced using design principles and finishing skills. The skills will be covered across two projects, each one related to product and spatial design, and students will look into the transfer of ideas from sources of inspiration including cultural concepts, nature, and local kiwi design influences. Technical drawing skills will be taught throughout the development of the projects.
Throughout the year, students will trial ideas, using digital design modelling, and may produce a physical model and prototype.
