Year 10 Design and Visual Communication
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs J. Johnston.
Year 10 Design and Visual Communication students develop a range of skills over the course of the semester through a range of Product and Spatial design, using Visual Communication to address how design ideas and outcomes are appropriately presented to a viewer. Product design focuses on the development of tangible items that have a specific function within people's everyday lives. Spatial design is about the designing of three-dimensional spaces in terms of how they are experienced, occupied, or used by people.
Skills covered in this course:
- Design Thinking (creative and critical thinking)
- Problem Solving
- Sketching
- CAD modeling
- Rendering

Students work is assessed in several internal standards, and an external portfolio at the end of the year.
Taking CAD elective along side DVC is a great way to advance skills in this course. This DVC is also complementary to Design and Build and Design Technology in year 11.
