USING OUR NEW TECHNOLOGY TO SUPPORT CREATIVITY IN 3D DESIGN Mr Ben Wall
1 Amelia (LIV) ‘Make a Scene’
The teaching of Product Design at Downe House has recently moved away from the constraints of Design Technology to the teaching of the ‘ThreeDimensional Design’ strand of the Art and Design disciplines at both GCSE and A Level. This has allowed our pupils to spend more time exploring materials and processes within the workshop and to produce highly creative sculptural and product design outcomes.
2 Eliza (LIV) ‘Make a Scene’
Technical processes remain central to project work, with our new laser cutter in constant independent use by girls in all year groups. In the Lower School, projects such as the ‘Make a Scene’ project [1,2 & 3] have involved creative 2D CAD (Computer Aided Design) that have dug right down to the level of editing ‘nodes’ in the TechSoft Design software [4].
