Units/elements covered by this brief:

Unit 4: Communicating Ideas in 3D
To achieve this unit a learner must:
Unit 04
A explore 3D visual language and working practices
B investigate how artists, craftspeople and designers communicate in 3D
C communicate ideas using 3D knowledge and skills in response to a brief.

Unit 4: Communicating Ideas in 3D Scenario

Sculptors, interior designers, architects and product designers have working in three
dimensions in common. 3D art, craft and design covers a wide range of practice across
different disciplines to create objects that we may see or use in our homes, in public
spaces, in galleries, in shops, or in the workplace. You have been asked to create 3D
work in the style of various artists for an exhibition of artists of the 21 st Century.

You need to research the artist Peter Engel and produce a research doc of his work with
annotation of materials used and opinions of his and your own work creating origami
pieces, and describe how it relates to graphic design? Your starting point will be a class
demonstration in Origami and then a more complex piece following a video tutorial.
Drawing on your research, produce a range of visual ideas and origami pieces. Review
your ideas and evaluate them so that you can pick the best 2 for your portfolio. Write a
description/explanation of the materials/software, technique used for your work using

your work using correct visual language. Unit 4(LA: A, B and C)

Task Five
You need to research Classic card making with a Christmas theme and create a cricut
Card design in Illustrator then printing and removing the negative space with a scalpel
and mounting it on coloured card. Then take your Illustrator version and save it as

description/explanation of the materials/software, technique used for your work using
correct visual language. Unit 4(LA: A, B and C)

You need to research the artist Antony Gormley and produce a Pinterest of his work
with annotation of materials used and opinions of his and your own work creating 3D
models in clay, wood and wireframe, and describe how it relates to graphic design? You
will then research his style and take primary source photos of the venue Another Place.
Review your ideas and evaluate them so that you can pick the best 1 for your portfolio.
Evidence you must produce for these tasks:
Portfolio and sketchbooks containing:

Records of visits and relevant research

Folders of primary and secondary source research
Annotation on Pinterest boards

Photographs, scans, photocopies, videos, PDFs

Drawings in pencil, fine liner, charcoal and chalk
Screenshots/photos of work in progress and source materials
Final digital and physical designs
Research and investigate alternative artists in 3D and explain how they
communicate their ideas.
Peer feedback and evaluation of your own work and the work of others.

Extended Tasks
You need to research Javier Perez and produce a Pinterest of his work with annotation of
materials used and opinions of his and your own work creating doodle art, and how it
relates to art and design? You can pick the best 2 for your portfolio.
You need to carve a pumpkin using a spoon and a knife with annotation of materials used
and opinions of your own work and how you created it. Write a description/explanation of
the materials/software, technique used for your work using correct visual language. Unit
4(LA: A, B and C) Research alternative 3D artist work and emulate their style and
