Content
This unit explores approaches to the use of models and modelling as critical tool and practice in visual arts. The unit will bring together material and conceptual considerations that are required in model-making and the ideas used when produce a 'model', maquette, prototype, study, etc. The learning activities will involve the use of drawing, modelling objects in clay, making maquettes (scale models) of installations or exhibitions, and other aspects of 3D modelling processes. This approach will make the assumptions regarding spatial relationships, proportion and materiality evident and allow students to analyse and articulate the cultural significance and perspectives involved in devising a modelling/model-making project.
These are the Learning Outcomes (ULO) for this unit At the completion of this unit, successful students can: | ||
ULO1 | Engage in research to produce a project proposal and preparatory drawings that can be used to communicate ideas and processes required for a collaborative modelling project | GLO2: Communication |
ULO2 | Determine the material and formal aspects of making the model and select the techniques required in model making to scale-up to specific applications | GLO5: Problem solving |
ULO3 | Work collaboratively to synthesise individual approaches to modelling into a group devised concept for production and display | GLO7: Teamwork |
ULO4 | Generate material, conceptual and technical solutions to the different approaches involved organisation and production modelling tasks | GLO5: Problem solving GLO7: Teamwork |
These Unit Learning Outcomes are applicable for all teaching periods throughout the year
