Year 10 Design and Visual Communications

Year 10 Design and Visual Communications involves the students in the study of 2- and 3-dimensional drawing and the development of design ideas. They will learn how to identify and use the appropriate visual modes and media to effectively present their design concepts. 

Students will learn a wide range of visual communication techniques and drawing skills which includes freehand sketching, rendering and instrumental drawing using drawing equipment and will be introduced to CAD (computer aided design).

As well as skill-based tasks, they will also analyse design ideas and make informed decisions in order to produce ideas relating to design briefs. 

Students are assessed against aspects of the NZ Technology curriculum.
