Learners design and make a decorative wall panel for display in a
new waterfront restaurant based on the theme of natural environment
of the Clyde. Working in groups, learners will explore the theme of
the natural environment of the Clyde, researching animals, birds,
plants, marine life and wildlife. They will create an investigation
in the form of drawings, photographs and collected images which
will be used to stylise and develop these images to create
imaginative and colourful tile designs. Learners will be instructed
in the use of clay to make ceramic tiles, which will be used
together in a large wall panel.
