This project will develop students' k/u of 2D design processes
and Photoshop software by using Clyde architecture as a starting
point to create an original trainer textile print to promote the
Glasgow 10k race or the Commonwealth Games. They will market
to sports experts from local authority, trainer manufacturer,
retailer, school PE & Home Economics staff and local community
for judging and potential sponsorship. Best design will receive an
award.
Broad Outcomes of learning
• Subject knowledge gained and enhanced e.g. the
design process, working to constraints (design brief, intended
market etc); learning how to use various techniques to create
repeat pattern designs; learning how to use Photoshop software;
learning the printmaking process
• Enterprise skills enhanced (CfE) - confidence in
applying self to task and achieving outcomes, effective
communication and contribution to achieve, independent learning as
well as working with others, responsibility to meeting needs of
others
• Develop employability skills: application of
knowledge in a real situation by being able to follow a brief, by
being in competition with others and by presenting finished product
to a selected panel (selling your product also relates to selling
oneself in an interview situation)
• Learners have developed enterprising skills
identified as 4 capacities of CfE
Relevance to curriculum
• Supports CfE Art & Design studies, students
will work with the visual elements: line, shape, pattern, and
colour
• Relevance of how curriculum topic on textile
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
• Critical work: pupils will look at William Morris
and Timorous Beasties (contemporary Glasgow-based designers),
pupils can also refer to the work of visual artist Glasgow-based
Toby Patterson in terms of the graphic quality of his paintings of
highly stylised architecture
