Course Description
Teacher in Charge:
Course objectives
This course builds on the foundation laid in Year 9. Students have the opportunity to learn a diverse range of design skills. Topics are mostly project based. This means that students have to find a solution to a design problem within a set context. They will follow a design process to arrive at a potential solution and then present this solution using a variety of different modes and media. Students will develop skills to become divergent and explorative thinkers.
Course content
Skills include, but are not limited to:
•Freehand sketching
•Rendering
•Orthographic drawing
•Isometric drawing
•3D Computer Modelling
•Language of design
•Principles of function and aesthetics
Assessment
Regular evaluation of work will be carried out to enable feedback to students. Some student work is required to be submitted in the form of a portfolio. These are marked at the end of projects, with two to three being completed through the year.

Disclaimer
Rosmini College's timetable is student-driven and a new timetable is generated each year based on student subject selection. Unfortunately, while we do our best to avoid them, timetabling clashes may still occur and a few students may be required to choose an alternative subject option.
The 2024 timetable, including the number of classes in each subject and staffing allocations, is created based on student selections made in 2023. Because of this, changing subjects at the beginning of 2024 may not be possible. Please, make your subject choices carefully.
