11 Design and Visual Communication 1

The areas covered in Design and Visual Communication are spatial (architecture) and product design. 

Throughout the year students will develop their creativity, learn about the practice of designing (initiating and developing ideas), make qualitative judgments (informed decisions on aesthetic and functional aspects of design), and develop a range of drawing (visual communication) skills through an activity-based project-driven approach.

Assessments will be detailed in the course booklet given out at the beginning of each year. All assessments are internally assessed.

The course continues through to Year 13 and qualifies for scholarship at Year 13. 

This course also leads to UE approval in year 13.

Design and Visual Communication leads to design courses offered throughout most tertiary institutions and universities. Career pathways can lead into architecture, draughting, product design, fashion, furniture design and much more. Design and Visual Communication is also a useful subject for students considering a career in the building or engineering industries.
