Howick College
Year 13 Design (13DES)
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms S. O'Grady.
Year 13 Design extends methods and ideas learnt in Year 12 Design. It is recommended that students enter this course with a fluency in the digital software skills used in previous years. Although these will be developed during the course of study, the syllabus does not specifically focus on building competency in these programs.
13DES is designed to develop students’ visual sense and literacy in preparing them for further education in visual communication, advertising or creative branding when starting up a new business. We focus on research, expression of ideas based on students’ authentic contexts, understanding and application of drawing conventions, exploring fit-for-purpose ideas towards brand elevation, and iterative generation of ideas informed by established design practice. At the same time, we explicitly develop creative, visualisation and communication capabilities through generation of design for various media from print and moving images to immersive experiential presentation.
Students undertaking External Standard 3.4- Produce a systematic body of work that integrates conventions and regenerates 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 discover and apply their art senses with mixed art media through exploration of pictorial elements. This investigation of space and composition leads students to identify recurring and interesting techniques to base the creation of their year-long project on.
Term 2
Term Two will see students progress their initially developed and clarified ideas against the initially researched conventions from established practice. From design media such as posters and magazine spreads, students will advance to develop promotional items that are relevant to their brief.
Term 3
Term Three will see students further revisit their design ideas. Through developing and clarifying, students will also regenerate and extend their ideas to demonstrate their exploration. Submission of works can include a printed board or a digital file of moving images.
Term 4
Term four will be the conclusion of the 3 panel folio for external standard 3.4
