Course Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to explore and creatively apply the design process to the development of three-dimensional (3D) forms. It involves exploring ideas and the creative design process, and communicating different ideas through application of design processes to 3D forms.
The unit applies to those who work under supervision and apply an understanding of the design process using discretion and judgement.
