ART DESIGN 31F – Full Year
ARD31F Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Ms A. Connon.
Recommended Prior LearningMaturity, enthusiasm and the ability to work independently are required along with the successful completion of Level 2 Art Design. Students who have not successfully completed the ARD21F or 21S course should see Ms Connon before selecting Level 3 Art Design as a subject.
Success in the Literacy CAA is recommended.
In Lev 3 Art Design,students learn to develop visual ideas through the creative design process. Through studying and applying the techniques of established designers who give popular brands their identity e.g. Nike, Adidas, Lululemon, etc, students learn critical thinking and self management skills that are transferable to many endeavours.
In this course -
• Students select their own theme with teacher guidance within one of three categories: Product, Event or Awareness.
• Students do not need to know how to draw but we do use sketchbooks.
• Students learn to use digital media by first working out ideas in their sketchbooks and then finding the best way to digitally develop these ideas (with teacher guidance and support) working with Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
Future Possibilities
Successful completion of ARD31F provides students with some of the content necessary to apply to Tertiary Art and/or Design courses. These courses often require the submission of a folio showcasing a range of work, therefore it is recommended that students considering studying Art and/or Design at University enrol in two of the following Level 3 courses: Art Design, Art Photography, Art Painting, Art Printmaking, Art Sculpture.
Achieving 14 Level 3 credits in this course counts as an approved subject for University Entrance.
