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.

Element: |
2 Explore the creative design process for 3D forms |
Performance Criteria: |
2.1 Use creative thinking techniques to generate a range of ideas and options 2.2 Use experimentation to explore and challenge a range of different ideas 2.3 Challenge assumptions, reflect on ideas and refine approaches 2.4 Consciously change perspective, and evaluate ideas and situations in new ways |
Element: |
3 Communicate concepts or ideas through application of design processes to 3D forms |
Performance Criteria: |
3.1 Investigate and reflect on how a particular concept or idea might be communicated in 3D form 3.2 Select materials, tools and equipment relevant to the realisation of the concept or idea 3.3 Apply a creative design process to produce a range of 3D concept realisations 3.4 Reflect on own application of design process and success in communicating the concept or idea 3.5 Seek and obtain feedback from others about the 3D form and its success in communicating the concept or idea 3.6 Present and store concept realisations or samples in a format which takes account of the need for professional presentation and the work’s potential value for future jobs |
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course, you will have developed and applied the skills and knowledge required to demonstrate your competency in the above elements.
Details of Learning Activities
|
You will research, design and create artefacts/props There will be lectures and class/individual discussions. You do this by completing the following 6 Tasks Details of the 6 TASKS TASK 1: Research (Parts a, b, c) - You will research themes relating to the Design Processes. TASK 1: Part a: You are required to investigate and report on 2 different examples of (3D) DESIGN PROCESSES used to inform Design, concept development and manufacture. (Choose a Design Process you want to use for your assessment project).
TASK 1: Part b: Research different Creative Thinking Techniques you will use to generate a range of options & ideas. Students are to describe Elements and Principles of design as applied to 3D forms. (You will demonstrate and describe the use of your chosen Creative Thinking Technique/s and how you have employed them to produce your final designs.) TASK 1: Part c: Research and report on an Art, Design movement/School or aesthetic that you will inform inspire your design approach to the brief. TASK 2: Presentation to class of TASK 1 findings (10 minutes maximum) You are required to give a short presentation to the class on the results of TASK 1: your examples of (3D) DESIGN PROCESSES* used to inform Design, concept development and manufacture. (PowerPoint with images & charts) TASK 3: Design your artefacts/props inspired by given theme. Include elements of the influence of your chosen Art, Design movement/School or aesthetic on your designs.
TASK 4: Make your designed artefacts/props inspired by given theme. Progress check ongoing
TASK 5: Review your work. Discuss your choices in the design process, the challenges in designing 3D forms, and the relationships between form and space. Determine and discuss future improvements/suggestions. Task 6: Take work from previous Tasks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, collate them into a report and submit to Canvas in week 15 |
Teaching Schedule

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.
Assessment Tasks
|
Assessment is ongoing throughout the course and will include some research projects, a short presentation to class, design/s for Japanese Steam Punk inspired artefacts/props, documentation (of use of tools, equipment and materials), submission of report, submission of completed 3D realisations of prototypes and artefacts/props. Full assessment briefs will be provided and can be found on Canvas. There will be continuous assessment with ongoing feedback. This is a Vocational Education and Training qualification and is assessed for Competency. To be assessed as Competent means you have consistently demonstrated the required knowledge and skills at a standard required in the workplace. To be assessed as Competent in this course, you will need to complete each assessment task to a satisfactory standard. You will receive feedback from the teacher at the conclusion of each assessment task. Results that apply to courses that are delivered and assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment are: CA: Competency Achieved Due dates for assessment tasks dependent on access to specialist facilities and equipment may change. Please check Canvas regularly as any updates will be communicated by your teacher. ASSESSMENT TASK Students will research, design and create artefacts/props This assessment for 3D DESIGN PROCESS – (STUDIO 2) requires students to successfully complete and document all 6 Tasks. ASSESSMENT TASK 1: Research (Parts a, b, c) Progress check week 2/3 ASSESSMENT TASK 2: Presentation to class of TASK 1 findings (10 minutes maximum) Due week 3 ASSESSMENT TASK 3: Design artefacts/props inspired by given theme. Progress check week 4/5 ASSESSMENT TASK 4: Make your designed artefacts/props inspired by given theme. Progress check ongoing ASSESSMENT TASK 5: Review your work.
