Food Package Deconstruct & Transformation Design Lesson

In this task, students are required to deconstruct the cover of a food packaging box into basic pieces of colour and texture before transforming the elements into a completely new design.

This is an ideal remote learning task, suitable for a range of ages and abilities (although originally designed for Level 3 Art Foundation). The download is a 3 page PDF that is easily emailed or shared on Teams.

A list of instructions and guidelines are provided to challenge your group to consider the formal elements and explore a range of compositional options before securing their design.

A “follow up” list of questions is provided, so that your learners can reflect on their design, make links with other artists, and suggest further developments in their sketchbook or journal.

This activity could be a standalone task or linked to wider projects and ideas.
I have included some great examples of work from my own students and also a list of artists for further research.

I hope this resource is helpful for you!
Best wishes
