Have you ever wondered... -what designers actually do? -how things move or work? -how you can design products to be good for the environment? -how a product continues to stay popular in the market place? -how products are designed with the user in mind? 3-D Design is an inspiring, rigorous, professional and practical subject that will require you to apply mathematical and scientific knowledge, understanding and skills and reflect the importance of Three-Dimensional Design as a pivotal STEM subject. The aims and learning outcomes of this course are to enable students to develop: -intellectual, imaginative, creative and intuitive capabilities -investigative, analytical, experimental, practical, technical and expressive skills, aesthetic understanding and critical judgement -independence of mind in developing, refining and communicating their own ideas, their own intentions and their own personal outcomes -an interest in, enthusiasm for, and enjoyment of art, craft and design -the experience of working with a broad range of media -an understanding of the inter-relationships between art, craft and design processes and an awareness of the contexts in which they operate -knowledge and experience of real world contexts and, where appropriate, links to the creative industries -knowledge and understanding of art, craft, design and media and technologies in contemporary and past societies and cultures -an awareness of different roles, functions, audiences and consumers of art, craft and design.
It is not necessary to have studied this subject at GCSE in order to take it at A Level.
The 3-D Design course is made up of two components: a Personal investigation (60%) and an externally set task (40%). The Personal investigation component starts near the end of Year 12 has two elements - a sketch book/portfolio of practical work and a related study which explores the context in which they produce an extended response of around 1500-2000 words. The externally set task is released in February and provides students with a number of themes, each with a range of written and visual starting points, briefs and stimuli.
