This standard asks you to use drawing to show you understand the rules and conventions that apply to design work. You need to select and use drawing techniques, materials, and processes in a way that shows you know how they work and what they're for. Your drawings can be research sketches, concept work, roughs, prototypes, models, or final solutions—whatever demonstrates your understanding of design conventions.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
What you actually do
- ·Select appropriate drawing media, techniques, and processes based on what you're trying to communicate in your design
- ·Use art elements (like line, shape, space, colour, tone, texture) and principles (like balance, rhythm, contrast) to support your design thinking
- ·Create a range of drawing types—research, analysis, concept sketches, roughs, prototypes, or refinements—that show your design process
- ·Demonstrate knowledge of why certain conventions and techniques work for design, not just apply them randomly
- ·Solve design problems through drawing in a way that shows you understand the characteristics and constraints of the design field
AAchieved
You use drawing with understanding of design conventions—your work shows you know which techniques and materials fit the job and you apply them with some awareness of why.
