Laser Design Studio - LASER DESIGN STUDIO

Laser Design Studio (formerly Textiles & Design) includes understanding design practices and applying them to Materials. (Textiles, MDF, Plywood, Acrylic). Students will learn about design elements and use these design ideas to produce concepts and make a prototype. Design a light fixture or Bluetooth speaker. A garment for streetwear or evenings. Create a jewellery collection or other items that you want to make, this course is for the crafter, designer and hands on learner. Learn sketching, model making, and create a portfolio of your work.

Graduate profile: (What qualities/additional skills learners will achieve by taking this course?)

Students can pick and choose what they would like to design and make; from Laser Design to Textiles and Fashion Design. It is up to the students’ needs or interests and an individual programme will be designed for them.

Teaching and Learning Approaches: (How will I learn in this course?)
Students will be learning how to create and make a product using a CAD* program for the Laser and Engraving machine. Students will use a variety of materials from MDF, acrylic, card, paper and textiles for their product. Students can choose what they wish to design. However, there are specifications to size and cost that will need to be considered in their designs and the ability of the laser cutter. Students will design and make a product for a client's need. This course is for the future fashionista, interior designer or product designer. Students will follow the Design Process and have a choice of what assessment standards they wish to cover. Computer Aided Design Program - Illustrator, and Laser Works will be used along with Vcarve Pro. Students will choose three internals and one external from the supplied list of Achievement standards.

Resource requirements: (What resources will I need to have to learn in this course?)
A USB storage device is required.

Teaching and Learning Approaches: (How will I learn in this course?)
This course focuses on building upon the skills students have learned in Level 2 Textiles and further develops practical and theory skills to prepare them for NCEA assessment. They will learn how to design ideas that are informed by research and critical analysis of existing outcomes, how to develop a conceptual design for an outcome that optimises resources, maintenance and disposal implications, and how to undertake functional modelling of their conceptual design to provide evidence for the outcome to be fit for purpose. They will also learn how to evaluate suitable materials and components based on their performance, to justify any decisions in order to refine, modify or accept the final outcome. How to use stakeholder feedback to support and evaluate the outcome as fit for purpose and how to use applied design techniques to enhance their ideas.

Resource requirements: (What resources will I need to have to learn in this course?)
Students will require a USB storage device.

What will I learn and how will I learn?

Students are able to make a product of their choice depending on the capabilities of the Laser and Engraving machine. Light fixtures and Bluetooth speakers have been a common theme throughout 2019. Students can approach the teacher with an idea to see if this can be produced in this course. There is no external component to the Level 3 course unless a student needs it for endorsement. An IEP will be set up for the student to develop a program that supports their needs for their future.

This course focuses on building upon the skills students have learned in Level 2 Textiles and further develops practical and theory skills to prepare them for NCEA assessment. They will learn how to design ideas that are informed by research and critical analysis of existing outcomes, how to develop a conceptual design for an outcome that optimises resources, maintenance and disposal implications, and how to undertake functional modelling of their conceptual design to provide evidence for the outcome to be fit for purpose. They will also learn how to evaluate suitable materials and components based on their performance, to justify any decisions in order to refine, modify or accept the final outcome, how to use stakeholder feedback to support and evaluate the outcome as fit for purpose and how to use applied design techniques to enhance their ideas.

Entry Criteria

Entry is open.

Conditions of Assessment

All work must be submitted to the teacher by the due date. Any work not submitted for assessment by the deadline will receive a ‘Not Achieved’ grade. If students are sick on the day their work is due, they must get a doctor's certificate. Read over the student handbook for full assessment details.

Submitting Internal Assessment

Course endorsement is available for Textiles and design. This provides recognition for students who have performed exceptionally well in an individual course. Students will gain an endorsement for a course if, in a single school year, they achieve fourteen or more credits at merit or excellence (at least three credits from an external assessment and three credits from an internal assessment).

Resubmissions and Further Assessment Opportunities

Resubmissions can only be offered once and only when small errors or omissions need to be corrected in their work in a short period of time. There is no further teaching available. Further assessment opportunities are not available in every standard.
