This must be pasted in at the end of TOPIC 1 process work in the visual journal/sourcebook. TOPIC 1: PROCESS [50] 1.1 As an educator, you can guide the learners in their choice of subject matter and techniques used in TOPIC 1. This must be professionally presented in a visual journal/sourcebook (A3 format suggested). 1.2 The chosen examination brief’s (BRIEF 1 or BRIEF 2) COVER PAGE ONLY must be cut out and pasted into the examination visual journal/sourcebook at the start. 1.3 The learner must clearly indicate his/her intentions/rationale/concept through brainstorming, thumbnail sketches or a written essay (rationale). 1.4 It is suggested that all reference material have accompanying notes/annotations to develop, through writings, the learner’s intention. 1.5 Encourage learners to explore as many different interpretations as they research the theme in the form of life-drawing, original (own) photography, images from magazines and newspapers, found objects etc. These can be creatively presented/displayed and by doing so acknowledging the value of layout and design within the visual journal/sourcebook (presentation). 1.6 Their visual journal/sourcebook must show evidence of preparatory sketches, annotated drawings and research based on their various sources. It is important that they personalise these sources by drawing them and creating original designs. 1.7 Direct copying of an image or design that is not the learner’s own will be heavily penalised. This is plagiarism and is unacceptable. The utmost importance is placed on the process of transformation of the reference/source material. 1.8 Drawing, as the basis of all design at school level, will be heavily weighted as a contributing factor in the visual journal/sourcebook. Learners must explore a variety of developmental drawings (compositional roughs) as well as show technical ability through good solid tonal drawing(s). Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 4 4 DESIGN P2 (EC/SEPTEMBER 2016) 1.9 A ‘final’ A3 tonal drawing is not a pre-requisite, but may support a learner’s drawing program if drawing throughout the journal is of a weak standard. 1.10 The developmental process from start to a completed final mock-up in the visual journal/sourcebook must be evident. No steps must be ‘skipped’. There must be a clear documented journey. 1.11 As TOPIC 1 (Process) has the same weighting as TOPIC 2 (Final Product), learners should be made aware of this and spend enough time on both, to acknowledge the importance of both. 1.12 IMPORTANT FOR 2016: It is required that all learners show design in context. This is the recommended direction the subject must follow. This step involves presenting the final product in a ‘real’ space/environment within which it can function. This can be shown within the visual journal/sourcebook through drawing/collage/photography/digital manipulation or as an integrated addition the final product. Suggestions include placing products within a mock-interior setting; an exterior environment; on a garment/object (clothing, furniture, linen, etc.) or interacting with a human (hand-held, etc.). GUIDELINES FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL MAQUETTES/PROTOTYPES 1.13 If a drawing of a three-dimensional design is presented, orthographic diagrams (front view, top view, side view) as well as a three-dimensional drawing must be presented. Measurements to indicate scale and assembly instructions must accompany these. 1.14 Learners must clarify their choice of construction material(wood, metal, plastic, ilala-palm, wire, paper, etc.) for their final product and explain how the properties of the chosen material (strength, hardness, toughness, flexibility, corrosion resistance, waterproofing, etc.) supports and enhances the functionality of the product. Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 5 (EC/SEPTEMBER 2016) DESIGN P2 5 REVISED 2016 GUIDELINES (INSTRUCTIONS TO THE TEACHER AND LEARNER) TOPIC 2: FINAL PRODUCT [50] 2.1 All TOPIC 1 process work must be completed before the commencement of TOPIC 2. The teacher must limit assistance with the candidate during the final production of the design (TOPIC 2) and encourage learners to make their own decisions regarding their final processes. 2.2 Topic 2 must show evidence of least 12–24 hours’ work. The teacher must ensure that the output/production of TOPIC 2 is equivalent to the time allocated for completion. Time management is essential. 2.3 TOPIC 2 work may NOT be done at home and may NOT leave the classroom venue. Time allocation by the teacher and time management by the learner in this regard must be applied and managed. 2.4 Learners must demonstrate an advanced degree of technical skill in the use of a range of materials and techniques chosen. It is therefore advisable that learners produce a design in the design discipline that they have studied. 2.5 A final two-dimensional product MUST NOT be smaller than A3 in size or a relative body of work that amounts to A3 size output (e.g. 2 x A4). The size of a three-dimensional design will depend on the function of the object being made. 2.6 Designs must reflect context. Refer to No. 1.12 of TOPIC 1. 2.7 Learners’ final products in digital format need to have sufficient hand- rendered input. Original drawings/collages must be scanned or photographed for this purpose. Original designs must be present at the year-end exhibition. 2.8 Any two- or three-dimensional craft design based merely on craft processes like decoupage, etc. for decorative purposes will NOT be accepted. Craft processes must be used to create an original product. Products must show sufficient skill in technique/method. Learners must show, through their final product, a progression of skills development from Grade 10–12.

The Greeks planned their temples according to a coded scheme of parts, based first on function, then on a reasoned system of sculptural decoration. Mathematics determined the symmetry and the harmony. Their architecture presented us with a concrete illustration of moral and spiritual truth. The solid foundation platform, the down-pressing mass of the architrave, frieze, and roof-structure, counteracting the powerful sense of lift from the columns, the serenity of the colonnade, modified by the energy of the sculptured frieze and pediment. This is the philosophical meaning of Greek architecture, which has entranced architects around the world for more than two thousand years. Roman architects aimed to demonstrate the grandeur and power of Rome. They mastered important architectural techniques, including the arch, the dome and the vault, as well as the use of concrete. Using these methods, Roman engineers designed and built some of the greatest public buildings in the history of architecture, including temples, basilicas, amphitheatres, triumphal arches and public baths. In addition, architects designed numerous aqueducts, drainage systems, and bridges, as well as a vast network of roads, while planners developed a series of urban blueprints, based on army camps, to help create new towns from scratch. Both Greek and Roman architecture had a significant influence on architectural styles through the ages. These two periods became known as the Classical Period – which means they became ideal or timeless styles. YOUR TASK Create a design that borrows influences from Greek and Roman architecture. Be inspired by the principles, philosophy and aesthetic characteristics. Explore their use of building methods and materials. Be inspired by their architectural ornament and decoration. Develop a solution that expresses a design in a modern context.

The Games were a direct outgrowth of the values and beliefs of Greek society. The Greeks idealised physical fitness and mental discipline, and they believed that excellence in those areas honoured Zeus, the greatest of all their gods. From the 8th century B.C. to the 4th century A.D., the Games were held every four years in Olympia, Greece. Women were neither allowed to compete in the games nor to watch them, because the games were dedicated to Zeus and were therefore only meant for men. The first modern Olympics took place in 1896 in Athens, and featured 280 participants from 13 nations, competing in 43 events. Since 1994, the Summer and Winter Olympic Games have been held separately and have alternated every two years. THE OLYMPIC RINGS These five multi-coloured Olympic rings represent the five continents. The interlocking of the rings is symbolic in showing that the Olympic Games are intended for all nations to be able to come and compete against one another in unity.
