By researching examples of architecture over the years along the
waterfront, learners have to make reasoned decisions about what
influences them and design a two point perspective building.
The buildings can range from ship building, to the Glasgow Science
Centre or land fill which is now SECC. Look at building
shapes and how they have changed depending on their usage, such as
listed buildings which are now used commercially. Linking with
Social Studies will allow the learners to look at changing styles
and uses to fit with community needs. Learners exhibit their work
for parents' evening and then in local community venue.
Broad Outcomes of learning
• Subject knowledge on drawing is gained and enhanced through
putting subject knowledge into a real life setting
• Learners learn about their local amenities, whilst undertaking a
research and design challenge
• Develop employability skills communication, evaluating,
planning, organisation, delegation, time management, researching,
contributing,
• Confidence of working independently from teacher-led lessons
demonstrated through self-evaluation
Relevance to curriculum
• Learners will develop knowledge learned through CfE Technology
topic through a differentiated challenge
• Learners will be provided with a platform from which links with
other curricular areas can be formed
