S3 Graphic Communication
The S3 Graphics course follows a similar path as the N4&5 courses to get pupils ready for the following year whilst still developing the many skills needed for the National course assessments.
The aims are:
• To develop pupils skills in graphic communication, including Manuel drawing board work and the use of the correct equipment. Rendering using tone, shade etc.
• To develop pupils skills in graphic communication software packages such as Autodesk Inventor and the Serif Suit for DTP
• Continue to apply knowledge and understanding of graphic communication drawing standards BS8888 and apply this in their work.
There is a variety of tasks to develop skills and there is an assignment at the end of the year to practice all the Knowledge & Understanding and application skills they have learned.
The following gives an overview of the main task work:
