Overview of Assessment
Assessment for this course will be project based.
Assessment Tasks
Evidence of the following is essential:
• production of a range of samples or concept realisations which show the creative application of processes to 2-dimensional forms
• knowledge of the design process as it applies to 2-dimensional work.
TASK 1 -The elements & principles design statement using the city walk - due week 3
This assessment relates to learning the language of the design industry. It will involve taking photographs on a
’City Walk’ and participating in class discussion about design elements and principals. It will involve a written design statement.
TASK 3A oral presentation- presenting your rug to the class in a power point presentation due week 9
TASK 3B This project brings together all the elements of previous learning and
applies them to a A3 board displaying an original rug design. This project will be assessed with an industry partner.
It will be assessed on separate criteria in both this unit and the clustered unit
GRAP5356C Prepare a materials board for client presentation.LMFID4003A. - due week 11
TASK 4 - Visual Diary - due week 11 An A3 visual diary will be a record of investigations undertaken,
