Course Contents | Applied Design 2 continues from Applied Design 1 with further exploration through the introduction of more advanced project content. Students in this course are faced with a variety of problems and challenges in terms of thinking and conceptualizing. They are also faced with the technical side of the challenge, like making different materials to work together, using hand and power tools and also finding practical solutions to their ideas and their 2-D designs. Research and a lot of rough work are required. Part A Students are required to explore an obsession of theirs through an extensive research, experimentation and documentation Part B Students are required to create a final work in any media – drawing or painting, small sculpture, video or combination of alternative media – based on their research and experimentation of the first part of the project | ||||||||
