Year 9 - i-DESIGN, i-CREATE

How do I combine creativity and technology to make products I can use, sell or create a business from? How can I incorporate my own personal and cultural symbols to create unique expressions when designing products and artworks? In this collaboration between Art and Industrial Design, students will be immersed in a creative studio process using materials and technologies to produce functional products. Students explore and celebrate cultural diversity to ideate and create designs while developing skills to generate their own solutions. The course culminates in students developing a range of ceramic and pewter cast products, screen prints and tapas boards that have integrated cultural meaning. Students explore how as artists and designers, our strength is our difference.
