Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.

Pre-requisites and Co-requisites

None required.

Course Description

In this unit you will develop the skills and knowledge required to explore and creatively apply the design process to the development of three-dimensional (3D) forms. You will interpret specifications, design and construct three dimensional (3D) props for display, exhibition and event contexts. You will also research, practise and apply skills and techniques to produce a range of creative studio finishes/props applicable to these contexts.

Details of Learning Activities

GRAP 6356C Explore and apply the creative design process to 3D forms. (National code BSBDES303)

In this course you will develop the skills & knowledge required to explore and creatively apply the design process to (3D) forms. You will interpret specifications, design & construct three dimensional (3D) props and backgrounds for display, exhibition and Event contexts. 

You will also research, practice, & apply the skills, & techniques to produce a range of creative studio finishes/props applicable to the display &/or event industry.

 

Learning outcomes:

On successful completion of this course, you will have developed & applied the skills & knowledge required to demonstrate your competency in GRAP 6356C (BSBDES303 Explore and apply the creative design process to 3D forms)

Learning activities will take place in the workshop/class room using industry standard tools & resources. You will complete  exercises & industry relevant projects. You will also be required to undertake independent study.

Most delivery will be face-to-face in the Studio workshop.

Overview of Assessment

Assessment is on-going throughout the course. Assessment will incorporate a range of methods. This may include practical, hands on making, demonstration of skills and knowledge, successful completion of design and fabrication/construction tasks. This may also include oral questioning on methods and procedures.

 

 The RMIT assessment charter summarises your responsibilities as a student as well as those of your teachers.

Other Information

Your safety and the safety of others is of the utmost importance.

Classes are conducted in a workshop environment with materials, tools and equipment that may be hazardous or may cause injury. Students must observe OHS (Occupational Health & Safety) and WHS (Workplace Health Safety) requirements at all times. Students are ensure that they wear clothing appropriate for this environment  - no loose fitting clothing or jewellery and long hair is to be tied back. Shoes MUST cover the entire foot - no sandals or thongs permitted.

No headphones, ear buds etc., are to be used in the studio workshop area. 

Where appropriate or directed by staff, students must use PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) in the workshop area.

Students shall only use tools and equipment for which they have received the appropriate training and for which they have been logged. 

Students not meeting these requirements will be not be allowed access to the workshop and display areas and will be basked to leave.
