The S2 Graphics course follows a similar path as the S1 course to get pupils ready for the following year whilst still developing the many skills needed for the S3 course and National courses

The aims are:
• To develop pupils skills in graphic communication, including Manual drawing board work and the use of the correct equipment. Rendering using tone, shade etc.
• To develop pupils skills in graphic communication software packages such as Autodesk Inventor and the Serif Suite for DTP
• Continue to apply knowledge and understanding of graphic communication drawing standards.
There is a variety of tasks to develop skills and there are assignments throughout the year to practice all the Knowledge & Understanding and application skills they have learned.
