Three-Dimensional Design (GCEA)

Course summary

Three-Dimensional Design is about looking, learning, thinking and communicating ideas. It inspires creative thinkers, problem solvers and people who enjoy making. A course in Three-Dimensional Design will enable you to select appropriate materials and learn how they fit together, develop an understanding of scale and experiment with texture and surface finish. Building on the experience of Design and Technology at GCSE, Three-Dimensional Design allows you to explore topics with more depth and autonomy. You will develop your understanding of contemporary design and technological practices and consider the uses and effects of new technologies and modern materials. You will be required to initiate design solutions, develop, test and trial working models and prototypes using your imagination and ability to innovate.
