SACE Stage 2 Visual Arts - Design study guide
SACE Stage 2 Visual Arts - Design · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
Visual Arts - Design is a Stage 2 subject within the South Australian Certificate of Education, listed by the SACE Board among the Stage 2 subjects taught in schools. It sits in the Creative Arts area of the curriculum and is studied by students in their final year of senior secondary schooling, typically Year 12, who want a design-focused practical arts pathway rather than the Visual Arts - Art variant. Students build a design product supported by a practitioner's statement, develop a folio documenting design process and investigation, and complete a visual study of design inquiry and/or resolved works. The subject's assessment is school-based and externally quality-assured through the Board's moderation and external assessment arrangements rather than a single written paper. The SACE Stage 2 Visual Arts - Design study guide has 3 sections and about 998 words.
01Practical: The Design Product and the Practitioner's Statement
The practical is two linked artefacts: a resolved design product and a practitioner's statement . The product must answer a real design problem you have defined - a client, audience, context, purpose and constraint set.

The folio is the evidence trail of your design process and investigation . It should let a reader reconstruct how your thinking developed: the problem as you first understood it, the questions you asked, the sources you investigated, the alternatives you generated, the tests you ran, and the decisions you made.

The visual study is a focused inquiry into design, supported by resolved visual works . You investigate a question - about a practitioner, movement, material, technique, or design problem - and produce resolved works that demonstrate and extend what you learned.
