Learning Outcomes
• general knowledge of the role and nature of a brief within the design process, including different types of brief and how designers use them
• awareness of the notion of individual interpretation and choice within the design process
• knowledge about the materials, tools and equipment required to apply design processes to three dimensional applications
• workspace organisation and maintenance including environmental and safety issues
• knowledge about how other artists and designers have produced work in three dimensions
• awareness of the relationship between form and space
• copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation, and their impact on aspects of design
• literacy skills sufficient to interpret a brief
• numeracy skills sufficient to calculate quantities and determine construction issues
Details of Learning Activities
Students will explore different materials and design processes to create 3D samples of work.
As individuals and or in small teams, students will interpret the designs and apply the design process to assist in manufacture.
Students will apply their knowledge of materials and design to produce a decorative table centrepiece for a major event.
Students will, whilst engaged in any activity, apply their knowledge of tools, equipment and observe safe working practices.
