This unit extends and develops the generation of ideas. Learners are required to generate ideas to fulfil complex visual arts objectives involving social, cultural and commercial considerations. Learners will evolve and adapt ideas to suit a range of different applications in their specialist areas. They will work independently and with others in generating and developing ideas. Learners must also prepare ideas for professional presentation. On successful completion of this unit a learner will:
Be able to independently generate ideas to fulfil complex visual arts objectives Be able to devise complex ideas to suit specific art and design applications Be able to work with others in generating, developing and communicating ideas Be able to plan and design a presentation and communicate ideas effectively.
