8. I can identify the aesthetical qualities in example artefacts.
CREATIVE LEARNING
Aesthetical qualities:
-Elements of design: e.g. colour, texture, shapes, form, line, proportion, volume;
-Optical properties of materials: e.g. transparent, opaque, translucent, smooth, shiny, dull, rough.
4. I can justify areas of improvement on aesthetical qualities of an existing artefact.
CREATIVE LEARNING

Learning Outcome: 5. I can follow the design process to produce an artefact.

9. I can identify the design process of an artefact.
CREATIVE LEARNING
Design process: research/generate ideas; design development; sketching; technical drawing; modelling; experimenting/testing; analysing and adjusting; measuring; problem-solving; evaluating.
10. I can outline the importance of design analysis.
CREATIVE LEARNING
Design Analysis: e.g. form, function, fitness for purpose, aesthetics, environment, materials, health and safety, costs, finishing, production methods, targets, style, image, consumer needs and wants.
5. I can recognise what considerations designers may have taken into account before producing an artefact.
Considerations: e.g. sustainability, economy, environment, aesthetics, choice of material, tools, equipment, technologies, techniques, production methods.
2. I can generate a range of ideas through design developments.
COGNITIVE
Prepare and plan: generation of own ideas; setting objectives; apply a range of techniques; problem solving; making design decisions and solution. 
3. I can construct a range of artefacts skilfully and safely.
PRACTICAL
Good artisan skills: e.g. sufficient accuracy, show good choices in a variety of materials and equipment, skilful, safe and responsible use of materials, safe and responsible use of equipment.

Rate the learning Outcomes project

I think that the Learning Outcomes project helps to:
	Strongly disagree	Disagree	Neither Agree nor disagree	Agree	Strongly Agree
Put the learner at the centre
Provide direction for learning activities
Provide a clearer and more progressive means of assessment
Allow students to be participative in the learning process
Move away from the content to the outcome (what a student will be able to do)
Develop a more individualised approach to learning and assessment, tailored around the student’s learning needs
