3D Design

Course summary

The new A Level in 3D Design has been introduced to build on the success of the Design and Technology department at GCSE. This success is due to an established team with extensive experience in a wide range of design fields including jewellery, model making and design for television and film. Due to this experience and the extensive workshop spaces and equipment, students will be able to explore a wide range of materials, processes, and techniques. They will continue to develop their visual communication skills through research, drawing and CAD as well as their prototyping capabilities. In addition, students will manufacture outcomes in response to challenging design briefs. Students understanding of Design as an intellectually rigorous pursuit will be established through teaching and independent research into Design movements and the work of designers. This will be reflected both in creative outcomes for project work and through the written component of their personal investigations
