Rejecting the mannerisms of a consumer society, the Art Povera promotes instincts, natural and ephemeral craft, aiming to defy the consumption oriented industry. The Arte Povera is socially engaged through revolutionary means.]]> 2020-09-14 01:24:05 UTC https://padlet.com/laanav/p40ubmuyjb41ll4m/wish/742495144 Environmental Circularity laanav https://padlet.com/laanav/p40ubmuyjb41ll4m/wish/743180303 2020-09-14 07:56:19 UTC https://padlet.com/laanav/p40ubmuyjb41ll4m/wish/743180303 Outcome 1- (VCAA, 2020) laanav https://padlet.com/laanav/p40ubmuyjb41ll4m/wish/760730935 'On completion of this unit the student should be able to design and plan the redevelopment of a product with the intention of developing a different product with consideration of sustainability issues.']]> 2020-09-19 05:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/laanav/p40ubmuyjb41ll4m/wish/760730935 Context laanav https://padlet.com/laanav/p40ubmuyjb41ll4m/wish/760732039 This learning activity appears at the beginning of the first unit. To plan and improve the design of a product, the students need to analyse its function, evaluate the sustainability practices and consider the lifecycle assessment (LCA). Students will develop a case study, and incorporate visualisations in order to propose a new brief. Improvements may refer to the purpose, functionality and sustainability of the product. ]]> 2020-09-19 05:49:07 UTC https://padlet.com/laanav/p40ubmuyjb41ll4m/wish/760732039 Key knowledges and skills laanav https://padlet.com/laanav/p40ubmuyjb41ll4m/wish/760736706 -Analyse sustainability practices of a product.
