students, by the exploration of developments in art and
design during the modernist period. The course aims to
bring students to an awareness of the role that art and design
plays in shaping and communicating our social, political and
cultural values.
Content
Semester one explores European and Australian
developments in design and art ranging from the industrial
revolution and neo-classicism to the end of the nineteenth
century. While charting the work of individual designers
and artists the course also explores cultural themes such as
gender and class, imperialism and nationalism, east and west
and considers the influence of political and social conditions
on western culture.

Assessment: continuous
A first year subject in the Bachelor of Design (Industrial Design)
This subject consists of:
Design Principles 1B
Common Studies 1B
Presentation Drawing
Design Principles 1 B
Objectives
To expand the range of design methodologies used to
creatively resolve design problems.
Content
This subject refines design methodologies and will include
product research, analysis and identification of the problem,
methods for dealing with creative problem solving,
removing mental blocks and clear thinking. Divergent and
convergeit thought processes will be examined. Areas of
interest will include lateral thinkinp;, -- form follows function,
functionalism, association, brainstorming techniques and
other methodologies. Practical exercises and discussions will
consolidate these processes.
Common Studies 1 B
Objectives
To introduce students to the process of design and design
practice.
Content
Through a series of practice projects, students will be
introduced to the process of design and the incorporation of
other design areaiinto this process.
