What Will I Learn?

This is the Design strand.

You will have opportunities to explore the vast field of visual art forms that exist across diverse cultural and historical platforms including looking at contemporary art and design. Creativity and artistic expression are central to the learning in art and design.

You will have the opportunity to create resolved works which may include:

  • Design: Product design: e.g. toy, fashion, furniture. Graphic and visual communication design: e.g. branding, illustration, and advertising
