DES2035 2-D Design 2

Intermediate · 1 credit · MDC - Media, Design, and Communication Arts

Description: Students continue to develop skills and techniques for 2-D design by using tools, materials and processes common to 2-D design to complete a variety of project activities.
Prerequisite: DES1030: 2-D Design 1
Parameters: Access to drawing tools, equipment and materials.

Outcomes The student will:

1 plan and produce solutions to 2-D design briefs
- 1.1 apply the design process to solve a 2-D design problem; e.g., floor plan, wrought iron gate, stained glass window, clothing pattern
- 1.2 select and use appropriate tools and materials as outlined in the design brief
- 1.3 use and maintain tools and materials in a safe and appropriate manner
2 incorporate the elements and principles of design to achieve the design solution
- 2.1 apply techniques, tools, materials and other resources in design solution; e.g., tone, texture and colour, markers and paints, images, typeface, drawing, layout, measuring, notation, rendering, assembly drawing and correct use of tools
- 2.2 use mathematical and/or scientific principles as they apply to design projects assigned; e.g., organization of visual space, measurement of internal space, borders, columns, use of scale
- 2.3 experiment with one or more elements (e.g., colour, line, shape) and/or principles (e.g., rhythm, balance) to achieve desired effects
3 produce and present a portfolio-ready drawing, image or rendering
- 3.1 participate in interim critiques; e.g., self, peer, instructor
- 3.2 discuss intentions and decision making related to the application of the elements and principles of design
- 3.3 present sketches or drawings for assessment
- 3.4 maintain a design folder, journal or sketchbook as part of the portfolio of ongoing observational drawing activities
4 identify copyright restrictions and permissions and put them into practice
5 apply consistent and appropriate work station routines
- 5.1 demonstrate good health and safety practices; e.g., posture, positioning of hardware and furniture
- 5.2 demonstrate security for hardware, software, supplies and personal work
6 demonstrate basic competencies
- 6.1 demonstrate fundamental skills to:
  - 6.1.1 communicate
  - 6.1.2 manage information
  - 6.1.3 use numbers
  - 6.1.4 think and solve problems
- 6.2 demonstrate personal management skills to:
  - 6.2.1 demonstrate positive attitudes and behaviours
  - 6.2.2 be responsible
  - 6.2.3 be adaptable
  - 6.2.4 learn continuously
  - 6.2.5 work safely
- 6.3 demonstrate teamwork skills to:
  - 6.3.1 work with others
  - 6.3.2 participate in projects and tasks
7 identify possible life roles related to the skills and content of this cluster
- 7.1 recognize and then analyze the opportunities and barriers in the immediate environment
- 7.2 identify potential resources to minimize barriers and maximize opportunities
