Demonstrate the use of digital drawing tools.
Description:
The design of this creative session provides an opportunity for learners to explore a range of digital drawing tools to create a digitally designed character of their choice.
Learners work independently to create the character after researching in groups, discussing ideas, resolving design issues, obtaining feedback, and reflecting on their learning.
This session is underpinned by the concepts of experiential and collaborative learning.
Learning is embedded in a realistic and relevant context for learners.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
- Develop Proficiency in Digital Drawing Tools and Emerging Technologies
- Enhance Collaborative Problem-Solving and Communication Skills
- Apply Design Principles and Feedback in a Real-World Context
