Learners are briefed to design the front of a new building. Using
the Clyde Waterfront website for research, learners create a design
using knowledge of both one point perspective and colour theory
using culture as their inspiration. This project develops learners
skills in using both one point perspective and colour theory whilst
providing a cross curricular theme for their learning and opening
opportunities to link with local community and businesses. The
finished design will form an exhibition of work for internal and
external partners to view/judge.
