Course Outline:
Students research, analyse, explore and experiment with media and technique, and resolve and produce practical work.
They use visual thinking and investigation to develop ideas and concepts, refine technical skills, and produce imaginative solutions.
Students learn to communicate personal ideas, beliefs, values, thoughts, feelings, concepts and opinions, and provide observations of their lived or imagined experiences in visual form.
Topics Included:
Students produce one folio that documents their visual learning, in support of their works of design. Students will focus their folio on Graphics or Product Design (eg. Corporate Identity, Fashion Design). The folio should include evidence of visual learning.
All practicals are resolved from visual thinking and learning documented in the folio. The practical consists of two parts:
design practical work – final presentation
the practitioner’s statement/evaluation
The visual study is an exploration, and/or experimentation with, a style, an idea, a concept, media, materials, methods, techniques, and/or technologies. Students base their exploration and/or experimentation on analysis of the work of other practitioners, individual research, and the development of visual thinking and/or technical skills. They present the findings of their visual study as well as their conclusions and insights.
