Subject Code: 2VAD20 Length of course: Full year Credit points and TAS status: 20 Credit TAS Recommended Background: Satisfactory completion of Stage 1 Design.
Precluded combinations with current MHS SACE subjects: Visual Arts – Art (10) and Visual Arts - Art (20)
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:
Folio 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, such as:
starting points for visual thinking
the application of creative thinking and/or problem solving skills
sources of inspiration and influence
the analysis of works of design
the development of alternative ideas or concepts
the evaluation and review of ideas and progress
annotated comments to clarify thinking
explorations with genre, media, materials, and technology
the practice and application of skills
refinement of ideas leading up to decisions about the final resolved product.
Practical
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.
Visual Study The visual study is an exploration of, 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.
