This assessment will be completed and assessed in two stages. You must be observed solving these drawing and design problems in class. Stage A : Planning and preparation You will commence Stage A by choosing a brand and promotional theme. You will use these to complete the following:
In Stage B using your inspiration and preparation drawings, you will illustrate a minimum of three professional retail window concepts.
Stage B : Complete final drawings and create presentation document
Key weekly milestones: Week 11 Present brief and commence research and drawing. In this first session, you will commence your research and draw thumbnail sketches and ideas Week 12 Present initial ideas and commence drawings. You will present your inspiration boards and initial sketches to the class for feedback. You will then develop and resolve the best idea in class. Week 13 Create drawings. Convert concept sketches to working drawings and plans for construction. Week 14 Create drawings continues. Convert concept sketches to working drawings and plans for construction. Week 15 Present final concepts in class
You must be observed creating these illustrations in class time so as to validate the authenticity of your work. Participation in the class room is the best way to ensure this. You will also need to attend to clarify and solve any issues in design that may arise.
Activities you will need to be observed completing include:
Students enrolled in Vocational Education and Training qualifications are assessed for Competency. To be assessed as Competent means you have consistently demonstrated the required knowledge and skills at a standard expected in the workplace. To be assessed as Competent in this course, you will need to complete each assessment task to a satisfactory standard.
