Howick College
Year 12 Design (12DES)
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms S. O'Grady.
Students in year 12 Design develop the skills learnt in 11PDES
12DES is designed to develop students’ functional visual literacy skills in preparing them for further education in visual design and digital application of mixed media art. We focus on visual literacy skills such as research, investigation, exploration, understanding and application of drawing conventions in designs to address a brief. Through building their design ideas through a body of work, students will develop their capabilities through generation, development and clarification of their ideas. Students are encouraged to experiment with mixed art form, including the option of submitting a moving image format of their work.
Students undertaking External Standard 2.4- Produce a systematic body of work that shows understanding of art making conventions and ideas within design will be expected to commit a certain amount of time outside of class hours as the standards require them to be undertaking a large ongoing body of work. Studio spaces will be available to work in during students' study hours and after school, with frequent feedback available during these times.
Course Overview
Term 1
In Term One students will develop their creative investigation from prior art learning with key pictorial conventions such as shape layering, typography and imagery. This compositional exploration and annotation process will enable students to make informed decisions on their design approach and the best way forward.
Term 2
Term Two will see students investigate the conventions they have explored by designing magazine spreads that cover compositional ideas with text, shape, images, etc.
Term 3
In Term Three students will continue the work on Board 2 to demonstrate how they have developed and clarified ideas using pictorial elements against the initially researched technical conventions from established practice and their brief.
Term 4
Finalising of the folio for external standards.
