Graphic Communication aims to reflect in the classroom, current advances in technology and approaches to communicating ideas in technical and graphical fashions. The course will reflect techniques used in industry to present Design Ideas, Technical Drawings, Computer Aided Drawings and models etc. by using a worldwide "International Language".
S1 students will experience a wide range of activities in varied learning settings. Pupils will be given work which will be challenging as they will be producing work by using a drawing board, freehand sketching and Computer Aided Design (CAD). Students are introduced to pictorial drawings ,orthographic's, isometrics,oblique's, CAD, Computer Aided Graphics (CAG), and rendering and toning.
Students will be involved in a variety of tasks and assignments which will involve reading and interpreting drawings, presenting technical drawings using drawing equipment, using graphics techniques to present design ideas e.g. sketches, charts, diagrams, illustrations, models, displays and computer produced material.
Pupils will be exposed to problem solving in Craft and design which will involve them in research, development and presentation of ideas. Students will then be able to use these skills to enhance their work in design and manufacture and within inter -disciplinary learning.
