Level 2 Visual Arts - Graphic Design

Course Overview:

Building on the skills and knowledge gained in Year 11 Visual Arts, this course delves deeper into design by exploring both historical and contemporary conventions, ideas, and techniques. The majority of the course takes place in the computer suite, where students will learn and create using Adobe Creative Suite.

Course Features:

• Artistic Exploration: Students will investigate various design concepts and methods, applying them to their own portfolio projects.

• Year-Long Project: The course includes an in-depth, year-long investigation into a topic of personal interest, enabling students to express original ideas and address pictorial issues influenced by selected artist models.

• Internal and External Assessment: Internal assignments contribute toward the external assessment, providing a comprehensive evaluation of students’ work.

• Design Project Ideas: Possible project topics include corporate identity, event promotion, social awareness campaigns, product design, 3D modeling, animation, and moving image. Projects must be approved by the teacher to ensure they align with the students’ skills and goals.

Prerequisites: Completion of Level One Visual Arts is recommended. However, students with relevant prior experience or a strong passion for a career in the creative industries may be considered for enrolment with permission from Miss Bell.
