Y10 Spatial & Product Design (DVC)

Overview 

Spatial and Product Design focuses on developing students’ ability to communicate and present creative design ideas for architecture and products. Students learn visual communication skills like sketching and rendering, explore design eras and influences, and build computer-aided models to solve real-world design challenges. 

Projects 

Students will complete two major CAM assessments. Each assessment will focus on different aspects of design and visual communication, guiding students through the process of developing a finished architectural project along with a supporting portfolio of work. 

Health and Safety and Behaviour Expectations 

The safety of our staff and students is a priority. As such a high standard of student behaviour is always expected in Creative Industries and Trades classrooms. Students are required to follow all teacher instructions and all health and safety procedures. Students are not permitted to use any equipment without training and the permission of the classroom teacher. 

Assessment 

There are two major CAM assessments in this course. Students generate a range of evidence and present a portfolio of work for marking by the due date. 

Home Learning 

There is an expectation that students will work on some of the theory and design parts of their assignments in their own time for homework. If students are away from school, it is their responsibility to catch up on work missed. All milestones and deadlines will be shared with students in class. If students require access to specialist equipment, they can discuss this with the teacher as it can often be arranged for use at break times, and before school. 

Pathways 

Knowledge and skills gained in this course can be applied to a range of industries, tertiary studies or simply used as valuable life skills. Architectural design, product design, interior design, landscape design are just a few of the exciting career paths this subject could lead to.
