Unit 3: Ideas and Concepts in Art and Design |
Background: Ideas and concepts are at the core of all creative art and design thinking and this unit aims at broaden and deepen your understanding of what is, ‘creative thinking’ Successful designers generate innovative and inspiring designs and present these in exciting and convincing ways. You will research and analyse others’ original thought processes and this in turn, will inspire your own. You will explore and participate in a wide range of activities and by doing so, develop an understanding of how designers generate ideas and how these inform others. |
The Brief: “ Fashion has no mercy… you may now leave the catwalk...! ” Heidi Klum Throughout this project you will be watching and working alongside the American television series Project Runway. You will take part in your own version of this reality show which is watched by millions of viewers. As a contestant, you will work as an individual and also as part of a larger group. By following the philosophy of the show and its unique approach to fashion and textiles, you too will compete for a place in the finale! Your brief is to follow on the spot, daily ‘surprise’ tasks, set by your tutor - not Heidi Klum! In true Project Runway style, you will also be working to a very strict time limit which needs to be carefully accounted for. Throughout the project, you will be exploring many different approaches and ways to express creative ideas. These will be recorded through observational drawing, digital photography and 3D garment construction. |

Unit Assessment Outcomes: To achieve a pass grade the evidence must show that the learner is able to: P1 compare ideas and concepts in art and design work P2 investigate ideas generating techniques P3 generate and refine ideas in response to given briefs P4 communicate and present ideas and outcomes to different audiences. Grading Criteria: To achieve a merit grade the evidence must show that, in addition to the pass criteria, the learner is able to: M1 use the results of purposeful research and investigation to inform own ideas and concepts, demonstrating coherent direction in originating and developing ideas M2 demonstrate a considered approach to producing purposeful ideas and solutions in response to briefs, presenting work coherently and effectively. To achieve a distinction grade the evidence must show that, in addition to the pass and merit criteria, the learner is able to: D1 independently analyse and interpret research to generate personal ideas and concepts, applying sophisticated thinking in generating, modifying and synthesising original ideas D2 demonstrate an individual and perceptive approach to producing and communicating innovative and engaging work, using sophisticated presentation methods. Please note: All unit grading criteria is available to view on your course Blackboard site. This can be achieved by satisfying the pass and merit criteria and producing a body of work that exceeds the basic pass & merit criteria. Your research should be thorough, informative and visually appealing. Your development should show the progression of your research and ideas through to the professional finished pieces that display a strong understanding of the subject.
