Art and Design (3d Studies)

Assessment

Unit 1: 60% The student will produce a portfolio of work at A3, which clearly communicates their analytical, designing, development and evaluation skills. They will produce an appropriate functioning solution that has been sufficiently developed and tested throughout the portfolio. They will include an extended written element of 1000 words minimum, which may contain images and texts and must clearly relate to practical and theoretical work using appropriate working vocabulary and specialist terminology. Unit 2: 40% The externally set assignment materials are released to students from 1st February (in the second year of the course) and will consist of a series of visual and written stimuli. One of the stimuli is to be selected by the student and used as a starting point from which to elicit a personal response. Responses are developed during the preparatory study period. They should take the form of an A3 portfolio of preparatory work and development which informs the final design outcome produced in the 15 hours of sustained workshop time.
