9DVC - Design & Visual Communication

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr S. Maitland.

This course covers both Product and Spatial Design.

When products or spaces are well designed we often don’t notice them. Ease of use and effective design make a big difference in how we interact with products and the development of spaces is an integral aspect of modern human life. Specific needs can be met and addressing aspects of social interaction and human factors make a difference in how we utilise both products and spaces.

In this course students will learn sketching, instrumental drawing, modelling skills and computer-aided drawing programmes, while utilising a design process to develop various products and spaces.

Progression of this course will see students gaining sound visual communication skills and the ability to effectively utilise a design process, as they move through Design and Visual Communication in years 10 -13.
