SEMESTER OUTLINE
Introduction:
During Semester 1, Year 9 students have not done a lot of Visual Communication and Design. The difficult part of designing the curriculum would to be to cover all the interest areas of the students while also
updating their skills in technical drawing. Students would also need to become more competent when using the design process, as well as design thinking strategies. The following curriculum aims to cover all these
areas, and more. I have tried to include as much technology and technical drawing as possible as I believe that students need to have these skills for year 10. Some of these students will not be attending year 9
semester 2 but may want to attend the subject in year 10. This has meant this semester will need to cover two AusVELS levels: 8.5 and 9. I have included both below and a basic list of the key knowledge and skills
needed to be covered in the curriculum.
AusVELS Standards
The Arts Level 8.5-9 Standards (The Arts Levels 8 10, Visual Communication)
Creating and making Level 8.5
collation and annotation in a visual diary, of stimulus material that can be used to plan and develop visual communication ideas and/or concepts
use of design elements and design principles to generate a range of expressive ideas in response to stimulus material
trialing of different ways of using media, materials and/or technologies to enhance drawing and design skills for specific purposes
collection and organisation of visual information supported by annotations in a visual diary, that can be used to develop visual communication ideas and/or
concepts
use of design elements and design principles to plan and develop a range of expressive ideas for visual communications
incorporation of freehand observational and constructed perspective drawings using a range of media, materials and/or technologies to develop established
drawing and design skills
experimentation with a range of presentation format types to select an appropriate context for delivery of the visual message
use of appropriate drawing system conventions and Australian Standards; for example, third angle orthogonal drawing
Exploring and responding Level 8.5
development of strategies to recognise and describe ways that their own and others visual communications deliver visual messages
awareness of ways that designers from different times and places have used design elements and design principles to express personal design style/s in visual
communications
use of appropriate design language to describe visual messages in their own visual communications
Perspective drawings
How elements and principles have been used differently in the history of
design to reflect the attitudes, values and technology of the time.
identification and interpretation of visual messages from the fields of communication, product and/or environmental design relevant to their own visual
communications
understanding of ways designers from different times and places have been influenced by shifts in values, attitudes and/or technologies
analysis using appropriate design language, of ways methods, media and/or materials, in collaboration with design elements and design principles are used to
build messages in own and others visual communications
Literacy Links
Numeracy Links
Year 9 - Semester 1
Literacy is linked throughout the curriculum throughout most tasks. Students are always given written instructions on the
whiteboard and through handouts. Students will also begin to use a vocabulary list in the back of their sketchbooks to fill in
throughout the semester every time they encounter a subject specific word. These words can be seen on the following page
highlighted in relevant colour to relevant year level. It also important to note that the subject of Visual Communication can
contain words that mean different things in the confines of this subject, making it important to break down the words and help
students identify the different meanings of that one word. Other Vocabulary tools may be introduced in the development of
each unit and will be identified in the annotations of each unit plan.
Numeracy is extremely important to the technical drawing units of the subject of Visual Communications. Students often use
measurements and scales to draw three dimensional forms. Students will need basic skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division to work out ratios and scales. The class will need to practice to work out sums quickly in their head without the use of
any calculator or notes. Technical drawing also works student understanding of drawing form and special awareness, also
important skill for maths questions about area and volume.

Year 9 - Semester 1
Students are introduced to environmental design by looking at the Flinders Street Re-Design
Competition
Students will be introduced to a professional design brief as well as some of the constraints and
requirements of the design.
Students are put into groups and are given a bunch of cardboard and other equipment to design
and make their own response to the brief.
Students will start to organically start to use some of the drawing styles they will be taught about
later.
Year 9 - Semester 1
Students are given instructions to draw certain aspects of buildings around the school
Students will need to not only draw from observation but use light sources to determine shading
and shadowing of objects.
Students are given a basic introduction to the VCAA technical drawing specifications on
orthogonal drawing
Students are given an object to turn into an orthogonal drawing
They must draw the front/side/top to scale and according to the technical drawing specifications
Students are given a worksheet and explanation on drawing the flinders street Clock tower.
Students add some of the elements they have seen on the older school buildings, as well as
basics such as windows and doors.
Students are also able to add their own creative elements to make the drawing more
personalised.

This was maybe a bit much to complete in one week. Students particularly enjoyed the task so I
allowed them to have a lot more time.
This task would be good at the end of the unit, meaning students are required to do the technical
drawing before the actual construction.
