Overview of Assessment
Assessment is on-going throughout the course. Assessment will incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of knowledge and skills and will include:
Assessment Task 1
The digital world allows a product to be taken from an idea to a physical reality without pen touching paper. This project will explore this process. This project has been designed to get students to experiment with and refine further model making skills. It will encourage students to think of how they can produce models very quickly.
Assessment Task 2
This is an idea generation exercise that requires a folio of a documented design process showing how a range of design proposals have been developed, mock-ups leading to a final highly detailed model. An overall impression of an object will show the viewer how large and what shape it is, but adding details will bring the model or even prototype to life and show them what the real thing would look like.
