This mini concept project is aimed to raise awareness of coral reefs dying. It includes: the task description with the Statement of inquiry, Key Concepts, Related concepts, Global Context, ATL skills and student’s e-portfolio with each task outlined, covering Criteria A, B and C. Criterion D can be added, as necessary. This project can also be used in Design Technology, adapted accordingly. The students explore 2 points perspective (Isometric projection), orthographic and digital representations. As a final outcome, the students will create a visual 2D or 3D message that would help to preserve the coral reefs and inform people of the danger, making people/the audience to think of their own actions that have the consequences. The final 2D and 3D artwork could be a coral reef made from recycled and processed waste material, which can be set on the bottom of the sea to function as the basis for a new natural coral reef to form and housing for sea creatures.

Visual Arts or Design Technology mini project: Self-quarantine time is boring, the virus is frightening, now it is a time to have fun and create amusing homemade mask. This mini project was successfully run in China during Corona virus outbreak, as a part of online learning. You can adapt this simple instructions for your needs. Your task and aims: Produce an amusing homemade mask by using any materials and media, and by creating a realistic reflection of 2019-nCoV current outbreak through any form of illustration, 2D and 3D effects, covering most details within the pastime. Go, WuHan, we will fight through this together! You can show in your work doctors in protection suits, the hospital equipment and reflection on the effort people have put into the combat with the coronavirus, while the other side can include the virus itself and origins of the virus, the patients’ desires to live.

This KS3 project features a design inspired by bio-mimicry/Natural forms and used a pewter die casting method. In the course of the project students will learn to critically analyse existing products, to understand the role of the bio-mimicry and to adapt it to jewellery design. In addition, they will use CAD/CAM as a part of the manufacturing process, and 2D design to create a presentation for the completed product.

This is KS3 project which combines wood work skills, electronics (soldering skills, circuit, components & colour-coded resistors), 2D design, graphics and product design (a net, packaging and packaging symbols), including homework tasks. It helps students to work individually and as a team, to peer-assess each other’s work, to test & critically evaluate. In addition, it teaches the use of tally charts, bar charts & flow charts.

This KS3 project involves the design and construction of a face mask inspired by Mayan art. In the course of the project students will learn to understand the difference between Mortice & Tenon joint and comb/finger joint and to adapt them to the mask design. In addition, they will learn and apply Health & Safety rules when using hand tools to cut out the wood joints.

This is a differentiated, multi-skill, KS3 project which combines wood work (finger/butt joints), electronics (soldering skills, circuit, components & colour-coded resistors), 2D design, graphics (board game) and product design (a net, packaging and packaging symbols), including homework tasks. It helps students to choose their own level of difficulty in design & manufacture, to take control of their learning, to work individually and as a team, to peer-assess each other’s work, to test & evaluate their work based on the project activities, and to critically analyse & evaluate. In addition, it teaches the use of tally charts, bar charts & flow charts.

This practical and fun project is aimed at KS3. It helps students understand the two principal types of structure and the forces acting on them. Students will work in pairs to design and make to scale a structure that would withstand a weight of 6 kg.
