Design Principles in Art and Design
Unit summary
In this unit, learners will experience the same constraints and situations that designers face. They will be taught to consider how form relates to function in their own work, and how to evaluate and consider their choice of materials. Learners will be encouraged to identify appropriateness as a key factor in determining the choice of materials made. The areas of design for specific functions and issues relating to emotional design will also be covered.
The unit will provide learners with a knowledge of technical considerations that relates directly to their practical work. Emphasis will be placed on the development stages in the design process, the production of work that addresses the constraints of design briefs and learners’ evaluation.
