Burnside High School
NCEA Level 3 Visual Arts Design
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms J. Braithwaite
This course gives students a comprehensive background in Graphic Design. The course requires students to demonstrate their ability successfully to solve design problems. Some students will be encouraged to enter the Scholarship examination. Students new to the subject in Year 13 will be taught the principles of design and how to apply these to graphic design problems. They will also be instructed in the use of computers to enable them to produce work that reflects contemporary technology. In preparing work for their folio submission, students select a topic and carry out a design brief that enables them to research information, generate, develop and refine ideas and resolve the solution in finished design in a personal way. Students will typically explore design problems that involve illustrating identity, typographic layout, and graphic design. Students wishing to pursue a career in any of the fields of design, (graphic, industrial, fashion, typographic, illustration, architecture, and interior design), are prepared for tertiary study and given guidance and advice to enable them to have the best chance of achieving a place in these limited entry courses.
