Inspiration in Design Website – Student Work
Although these are mainly DT GCSE based assessments, have a look and see if you can use anything to help your student’s work. Hopefully they will inspire and encourage, showing what can be achieved.
Although based on DT GCSEs, there should be enough common ground to help with your A&D 3D Design course, take what elements you want that you feel best and fits the assessment. Also the depth, level and quality should help students understand what can be achieved.
