Unit content This section provides guidance on the recommended knowledge and skills required to enable you to achieve each of the learning outcomes in this unit. Your tutor/assessor will ensure you have the opportunity to cover all of the unit content. Outcome 1: Be able to use 2D mark-making techniques 2D mark-making: Disciplines (e.g. drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, digital (drawing, painting, manipulating)). Techniques: General (e.g. touch, control, style, method, procedure, facility), specific (e.g. drawing (stipple, smudge, sgraffito), painting (blend, wash, scumble), photography (dodge, focus), printmaking (etch, silkscreen), digital (clone, transform). Recording: Primary sources natural environment (e.g. plants, humans, animals, insects, shells, landscapes), made environment (e.g. architecture, artefacts, street furniture, galleries, exhibitions, museums). Secondary sources magazines, journals, video, film, internet, printed material, CD- ROM. Health and safety: Health and safety legislation, reduce risk to self and others, thinking and working safely within a studio environment, following control of substances hazardous to health legislation, guidance on materials and workshop practice. Outcome 2: Be able to communicate design ideas using 2D visual communication techniques Communicate: Response, selected themes, assignment briefs, audience, consumer, client, end user. Design ideas: Sketches, thumbnails, plans, patterns, series, visualisation, texts, layouts, patterns, diagrams. Final design ideas: Finished paintings, drawings, prints, screen-based images. 8 UV21365
Outcome 3: Be able to use formal elements in 2D visual communication Formal elements: Line (e.g. contour, cross-hatch), tone (e.g. shadow, contrast), colour (e.g. hue, tint, value, additive, subtractive), form (e.g. linear, shaded), shape (e.g. regular, irregular), texture, scale, angle, proportion. Materials: Drawing (e.g. tools, graphite, charcoal, crayon, ink, pastel, papers, surfaces), painting (e.g. gouache, inks, oil, acrylic, watercolour, brushes, pigments, medium, supports), photography (e.g. camera, lens, printer, papers, screen, sensor, photo sensitive emulsion), printmaking (e.g. lino, foam, card, mesh, engraving, inks, press), digital (e.g. screens, projector, tablet, stylus, scanner, sensor, camera, touch sensitive, printers). Disciplines: Drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, digital media, 2D visual communication (appearance (e.g. shape, colour, texture, surface, composition, marks, uniformity, contrast, edges), content (e.g. subject, focus, layout)).
