Undertake development of design ideas through graphics practice
In this standard, you're learning to develop design ideas using drawing, sketching, and other visual tools to communicate your thinking. You'll explore different design possibilities, refine your ideas by thinking through details, and make thoughtful choices about what works best based on design principles and the requirements of your brief. The whole point is to use visual communication—not just words—to show how your ideas develop and why you've made the decisions you have.
You explore design alternatives, refine ideas with some design detail, make basic design judgements, and communicate your designs visually in response to the brief.
You purposefully explore and refine your design ideas in ways that clearly relate to the design brief context, and your design judgements are informed by design principles and show meaningful decision-making.
You convincingly explore and refine your ideas in a connected, coherent way that integrates different design features together, and your design judgements are well-reasoned and clearly promote the ideas you've selected.
