The study of visual design enables young people to develop an interest in and enjoyment of investigating the evolving practices, technologies and ideas of this art form. Through critical reflection and acquiring understanding, knowledge and skills, students respond to the designed images, objects and ideas of others, by creatively developing their own ideas, designs and artworks.
