Design and Visual Communication

This is a course formally known in schools as Graphics.

The course introduces students to basic drawing techniques and the use of drawing instruments while covering:

• Sketching and Presentation

The course uses a student’s love of making things look lined up, proportioned and pretty in colour to their advantage.

Students will do a number of short class tasks and a number of longer individual design projects where they will apply their skills and creativity, extending their ability for independent thought and problem solving analysis.
