Context
In this subject you have examined the relationship between materials and storytelling, and through
experimentation and the perceptive nature of materials, how meaning can be intertwined. You have
explored the design process, built hands-on ideation skills, and developed an understanding of the
use of storytelling in design. This final task allows you to draw together the knowledge and skills that
you have developed to create and present and reflect on your completed module/sculpture.

Remember that you may choose to design, for example, a product, a fashion garment, a fashion
embellishment, an interior space, an architectural form, an item of signage, branding collateral or
even an artistic exploration of the your own story.
Instructions
In Storytelling through material (Part A) you chose a story to inform your final model/sculpture;
created a collection of prototypes through workshops in materiality and design attributes; and chose
a material to use. In Assessment 3, you will build on this developmental work to realise your design;
build your sculpture; and present it with supporting documentation.
Realise your design; Build your sculpture
In order to refine your ideas, you will undertake workshops and peer evaluation exploring the
sustainability and ethical manufacturing considerations for your design.
You will then complete the design process by building your final designed sculpture. The process of
this stage will form the final part of your journal (8-10 pages) and should include a 500-word (+/-
10%) reflective review on the creative methods employed, as well as the sustainable and ethical
manufacturing considerations applied.
Once complete, you will need to photograph your model/sculpture, and then enhance the
photograph using appropriate software. Both the unedited and digitally enhanced versions of the
photograph will need to be included in the presentation.
Audio-Visual Presentation
Key aspects of the project will be presented through an audio recording (e.g. voiced over
PowerPoint or recorded on Adobe Acrobat) for online students, or an in class presentation in
Module 12 for face-to-face students.
Both on campus and online students will need to create 5-8 slides to speak to during their
presentation. The slides should adhere to the following structure:
| Slide 1 | Unedited picture of sculpture (face to face students may also choose to physically present their sculpture) |
Slide 2 Digital representation of sculpture (enhanced using appropriate software)
| Slide 3 | Mood board from Assessment 2 with any additional updates (elaborate on story behind piece) |
| Slides 4 – 5 | Justification for the material selection based on sustainability and ethical manufacturing considerations |
Slides 6 – 8 Refection on the design process
