Woodwork - Stage 2

Mandatory: No

Duration: Full year

Description

Students wishing to study this course will find it an advantage to have successfully completed the Woodwork course at Stage 1.

This subject focuses on designing and making products using wood as the primary material. Students design and manufacture products or prototypes according to a design brief and develop skills associated with using materials, systems and processes.

It is anticipated that each student will construct two major items of furniture which reflect some of the typical construction methods used in the furniture industry. Quality control and accurate manufacture are emphasised throughout the course.

Topics:

• Specialised skills and application tasks
• A materials application task
• The creation of a design folio and furniture product
• A product evaluation

Folio: As an element of the design process, students will develop and display a design folio, as evidence of the design process.

Notes

Students have the option to negotiate size and cost, however this may require additional funding from families.
