The course aims to develop the creative imagination by encouraging pupils to reason in two and three-dimensions and by applying these abilities to the solution of graphical and spatial problems of an abstract and practical nature.
The cognitive and practical skills developed will act as a stimulus in helping pupils to “see “ their environment with a critical and analytical awareness and will enhance their aesthetic values
The course provides a unique range of skills and techniques at junior cycle and is a foundation course for senior cycle Design and Communication Graphics.
The course will also act as a contributing discipline to all technology based subjects and to any subject which uses graphics and/or cognitive functions such as holistic reasoning and image manipulation.
