L1 Design and Visual Communication (DVC)
This course is entry level into design that has a focus on learning how to design and how to present developed outcomes using a range of techniques. NCEA L1 Assignments require the learner to research given problems and find solutions that are a best fit and then communicate the function and aesthetics in a visual manner. Skills and techniques involved include: ideation, freehand sketching, instrumental drawing both traditional or CAD, presentation and rendering techniques. The use of CAD as a design tool is recommended such as Google Sketchup. This course leads into Level 2 DVC.

Ki ora, I love design and drawing! I've been blessed to be teaching technology and design for over a decade. I have two lovely grown-up girls and reside in the beautiful South Canterbury.
