Unit 3: Artefact

Principal Learning unit
Level 2

Guided Learning Hours: 60
Internally assessed


About this unit:  People make things for all sorts of reasons. It might be to express an idea or as an act of religious faith. It might be because the objects will be useful or it might simply be because looking at them will give people pleasure. A set or costume designer will make things that will be part of a drama or dance performance,and will design them so that they help to communicate the ideas carried by the performance. A potter will make things that are both useful and good to look at or handle. All these things can be described as ‘artefacts’ – made objects that exist in both time and space – and their creation will be influenced by many different factors and circumstances.
 
In this unit you will explore the nature of artefacts, looking at how and why they were created. You will then plan and produce an artefact of your own. In this unit you must bring together two or more of the disciplines as defined in Annexe F of this document.

1 Understand the process of creating artefacts
