This project will develop students' k/u of 2D design processes by
using the Clyde waterfront (architecture/maps) as a starting point
to create a unique key-ring graphic design. Learners will present
their designs to a panel of experts: tourism rep, local designer,
local authority culture/arts dept staff and exhibit work at
parents' evening. Learners will be looking at the work of artist
Piet Mondrian (New York Grid Paintings) as an inspiration for
design ideas.
Broad Outcomes of learning
• Subject knowledge gained and enhanced e.g. the design process,
working to constraints (design brief), learning how to use various
materials and techniques
• Employability skills enhanced - application of knowledge in a
real situation by being able to follow a brief, by being in
competition with peers and by presenting you finished product to
rest of class and experts. Selling your product relates to selling
oneself in an interview situation
• Communication & analysing: critiquing each others work at end
of project
• Researching, planning and sourcing: going through the design
process
• Presenting your work to class at end of the project
• Confidence of working independently from teacher-led lessons
demonstrated by pupil focussed working through development of
design ideas
• Pupils take responsibility for their learning through making
aesthetic decisions throughout their design unit. Learners will
also justify their final design to the rest of the
class
• Learners have developed enterprising skills identified as 4
capacities of CfE
Relevance to curriculum
• Supports CfE Art, students will work with the visual elements:
line, shape, colour Relevance of how design is relevant to work and
life (everything that you see around has been through the design
process) and how this subject knowledge is put into practice in a
real situation
