Year 10 Design and Material Technology
Option Description
Students learn to apply design thinking and develop an awareness of designing by using visual communication to conceptualise and develop potential design ideas in response to a brief. In doing so they develop a visual literacy; the ability to make sense of images and the ability to make images that make sense. Students apply their visual literacy by using sketching, digital modes and other modelling techniques to produce effective communication and presentation of design ideas.
