2D Graphic Communication: <\/span><\/strong>
\nThis Unit helps pupils to develop their creativity and presentation skills within a 2D graphic communication context.<\/p>\n

It will allow pupils to initiate, plan, develop and communicate ideas graphically, using two-dimensional graphic techniques.<\/p>\n

Pupils will develop a number of skills and attributes within a 2D graphic communication context, including spatial awareness, visual literacy, and the ability to interpret given drawings, diagrams and other graphics.<\/p>\n

Pupils will evaluate the effectiveness of their own and given graphic communications to meet their purpose.<\/p>\n

\n

3D and Pictorial Graphic Communication: <\/span><\/strong>
\nThis Unit helps pupils to develop their creativity and presentation skills within a 3D and pictorial graphic communication context.<\/p>\n

It will allow pupils to initiate, plan, develop and communicate ideas graphically, using three-dimensional graphic techniques.<\/p>\n

Pupils will develop a number of skills and attributes within a 3D graphic communication context, including spatial awareness, visual literacy, and the ability to interpret given drawings, diagrams and other graphics.<\/p>\n

Pupils will evaluate the effectiveness of their own and given graphic communications to meet their purpose.<\/p>\n

Across both Units, pupils will develop an understanding of how graphic communication as an activity, and graphic technologies by their use, impact on our environment and society.<\/p>\n
