Design - 3D Design A Level

Most projects will start with some visual research which will involve you drawing and photographing man-made and natural objects or environments. You will investigate the work of other artists and designers and develop an understanding of historic and contemporary creative practices. You will be introduced to a range of materials and methods such as clay, woods, metals and plastics and you will learn how these can be manipulated and combined to create new and innovative 3D outcomes.
 Projects might include:
• Jewellery: body adornment, object d'art, fashion accessories
• Ceramics: functional, ornamental and sculptural pottery
• Architectural: exteriors, interiors and landscape
• Product Design: transport, consumer goods, lighting, furniture.
During the Personal Investigation you will develop a personal direction within your creative work. You will select a theme that will serve as the inspiration and direction for your coursework. You will carry out visual research in the form of drawings and photographs and also experiment with materials and processes to establish what is possible and develop specific skills. You will generate a design brief and record and explore your ideas using sketches and maquettes to communicate your concepts. Your ideas will evolve and develop allowing you to produce your final work to a very high standard. You will work on your personal theme for about two and a half terms allowing you to develop sophisticated concepts and create larger scale outcomes than on the AS course.  You will also produce a 3000 word personal study based on the study of artists and designers that relate to your theme or the materials and techniques in which you choose to work.
This is a creative course and the emphasis is on developing visually exciting work regardless of the materials or processes that you choose to work with
