Subject Information - Art & Design: Three-Dimensional Design

VISION / AIM

By studying 3D Design students will have the opportunity to gain confidence, independence and problem solving skills to enable appropriate decision making in the classroom. Students should be challenged to be creative and curious in creating solutions to problems and outcomes in response to designers. In doing so, all students should consider sustainability, environmental and social issues that affect the development of solutions and outcomes. To be successful, students need to be able to select and use materials and be able to develop a range of skills to realise ideas.

Skills learned should equip students to engage in art and design in adult life and make sound decisions about sustainability, aesthetics and function.

Students have and will continue to visit exhibitions, participate in inspirational trips and participate in workshops with artists/designers as part of this course.

Resources and support materials can be found on Google Classroom.
