Technology - Design Visual Communication 

Students will generate design outcomes for a specified brief linked to architecture and/or product design. They will explore ideation processes and use them to create innovative responses to the brief. Freehand sketching, model making, instrumental drawing  and a range of presentation techniques will be developed within the context of the design process.  Students will create a shared exhibition of their outcomes during the second half of the year.
