    Welcome to Week 2, Term 1, 2021 and welcome to 10DVC2. My name is Mr Symons and I will be your DVC teacher this year. This year in DVC we are going to be engaged in two amazing projects. Project 1: Designing a multi-tool will be in Term 1 and 2 and in term 3 and 4 we will design a Teenage retreat, Project 2.

    DVC stands for Design and Visual Communication and is a subject under the Technology Curriculum.  We will be learning Freehand sketching, Instrumental drawing, 3D modelling and rendering skills this year to bring your ideas to life!

    DVC is a very creative subject and if you like to come up with creative solutions to problems and work hard welcome to the subject for you!!

    WALT: What we Are Learning To:

    Learning Objective:Freehand sketching skills

    We will begin this week with some simple 2D and 3D sketching techniques. These techniques such as crating, using a light construction lines and the use of line weight are essential skills in this subject. 

    We will explore some basic techniques to allow you to represent objects in a realistic manner and to explore ideas.

    Welcome to Week 3, Term 1, 2021 

    WALT: What we Are Learning To: Refine our brief and specification and start Research physical and functional features

    Activity:

    Tasks 

    1. Write a list of a least 6 specifications for your design of a BBQ multitool

    2. Create a mood board of research images

    3. Create a brainstorm for the physical and functional features of your research.

    What common ideas do they share? 

    Success Criteria

    Your specifications should cover functional and physical features based on your research into the attributes of your chosen design

    Your mood board should contain at least 6-10 images of BBQ multitools and construction details.


    Construction: The BBQ 5-in-1 Multi-tool is constructed of stainless steel and silicone and includes a spatula, fork, basting brush, bottle-opener and a corkscrew.

    The tools can be separated for easy use and can then fold up for travel. The BBQ 5-in-1 Multi-tool is easy to clean and is dishwasher safe. 

    Homework: Finish Brief and specification, mood board and brainstorm on functional and physical features
