This project will develop students' k/u of 2D design processes
by using Clyde waterfront (bridges, architecture, river, boats,
etc) as a starting point to create an original flag design to
market to a festival organiser; flag designer; manufacturer; local
authority personnel (Culture/leisure/arts) and local community for
support to be selected for exhibition at the 'festival'.
Flags have the potential to be produced in miniature to be sold to
tourists as souvenirs. This project can be adapted for upper
secondary learners using screen-printing onto fabric.
Broad Outcomes of learning
- Subject knowledge gained and enhanced e.g. the design process,
working to the constraints of the design brief (responsibility to
meeting needs of others), intended market etc
- Develop enterprise and 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 whole class (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, colour
- Relevance of how curriculum topic on flag 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 e.g. competing for a bid
