SHS3 Art And Design Foundation · Semester 2 Week 11: Design Thinking and Compositio

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 3.3.1.LI.2 - Use two or more CAD software to design an artwork to solve a problem in the society.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify two or more CAD software tools (e.g., Inkscape, Canva, AutoCAD, CorelDRAW, Tinkercad, or free web-based tools) and state at least one strength of each for solving a societal problem.
Analyse a selected societal problem in their community and propose a design brief for an artwork that addresses it, considering the intended audience and the message.
Combine two CAD software tools to execute a single design project, for example using one software for layout and typography and another for creating or editing vector graphics.
Justify design choices (colour, scale, composition, material, and message) in relation to the societal problem being solved, demonstrating strategic reasoning.
Critically evaluate one peer’s finished CAD artwork against criteria such as clarity of message, suitability of audience, and effective use of the chosen software tools.
