Pupils’ love being creative with this project. Lessons are differentiated with strong cross-curricular (Literacy, Geography, Science) links, whilst requiring very little resources (only paper, card and tape). Also Included is diffirenciated resources, and student/teacher examples. **In this lesson students will be introduced to the architect Frank Gehry. They will identify and demonstrate the key word ‘Form’ through group tasks, individual tasks and class-discussions. Leading to drawing and modelling exercises. Culminating in a design brief led task; where they are tasked with designing their own pavilion, taking inspiration from Gehry’s creative process to form. ** Lesson consists of: ♦ Starter activity. ♦ Class discussions. ♦ Prep task. ♦ Main task. ♦ Optional paper modelling task. Lesson could be extended over several lessons; particularly with the latter task. Also included is an instructional video to aid with delivery of content. If you enjoyed this lesson, please see the other lessons in my KS3 Architecture series (each lesson for each individual architect). In this unit, pupils will gain an understanding into what is architecture and identify the individual architectural styles and creative processes of varying architects (Le Corbusier, Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry and Daniel Libeskind), applying their understanding through 2D and 3D model-making. – If you enjoyed this project/scheme of work.

One of a series of KS3 Architecture lessons where students are introduced to some of the worlds leading architects; then design buildings following their styles and principals. Le Corbusier, De Stijl & Urban Planning - Graded Outstanding. Pupils’ love being creative with this project. Lessons are differentiated with strong cross-curricular (literacy) links, whilst requiring very little resources (only paper). Also Included is homework, with student/teacher examples. Also included is an instructional video to aid with delivery of content. LS1 Students are introduced to the De Stijl, Dutch art movement, through a starter activity and teacher presentation. Additionally, they are also introduced to the idea of urban planning (following a discussion of an image into over-population) and the architect Le Corbusier; with a particular focus on the Villa Savoye. They then apply their understanding of the movement and the architect, to design their own apartment (encompassing the rules of De Stijl). Each student’s apartment can then be put together to create a class De Stijl ‘sky-scraper’; as an applied practice of urban planning. LS2 Students complete a self assessment sheet as a mid-point self evaluation with a re-cap on prior learning from the pervious lesson. They then proceed to complete their building designs and add primary colours in-line with the rules of the De Stijl movement. – If you enjoyed this project/scheme of work.

Statement of Enquiry: **Technological advancements and innovative processes lead to greater connections between people, places and objects. ** In this outstanding, creative scheme of work, students are given a brief to design a 3D printed bridge and situate in a context. Thinking of it’s use and benefits such as type of load(s) and whether the structure needs to move. Students research a location and the work of others and apply this research to influence and justify the form and function of their own product, writing their own design brief and specification. Students make and evaluate various iterations of their design in different media throughout their design process in an accompanying portfolio. The project can be delivered in various ways, with students either/and laser cutting, 3D printing and building their own bridge model and then testing it. Lessons include: The brief: what are we designing and who for? STEM, building and testing spaghetti bridges: What is the science behind structures? Product analysis: How can we really understand and apply the work of others? Context: What bridge, where will it be situated and how will ti be used? Summarising research and developing a design specification. Sketching: How do we generate ideas? Orthographic drawing. How do we plan and apply advanced drawing techniques? CAD (Sketchup): How can we prototype without the use of materials? Card prototyping: Why make something more than once? CAD: Laser cutting (optional): How can automation help with manufacturing? 3D Printing (optional Sketchup or Fusion360). User testing: Why and how do we test our structures? Project applies a practical understanding of factual, conceptual and debatable questions. The scheme is a full term (12 - 20 week) project though could be condensed or even further extended if necessary. Students can work within the full digital project portfolio provided or in sketchbooks. CAD work can be completed using Sketchup or Fusion360 (both free) using the included guides. Laser cutting is optional (Techsoft/2D Design) as product can be prototyped by hand using digital or physical processes. Student and teacher examples included.

Graphic Design Typography Advertising Unit

6 Resources
A series of Graphic design lessons, where students are introduced to graphic design, typography and advertising. 1 Students are introduced to graphic design, personification and anthropomorphism through various questioning activities and a Pixar based exercise. Students learn how brands use personifciation effectively in advertising (M & M’s and Kellogg’s) before creating their own Pixa research page, demonstrating an understanding of the key words learnt; in a visual way. 2 In this second lesson, students are introduced to graphic design and typography through various questioning activities and videos. They are introduced to the illustrator (Paul Thurlby) and shown how he personifies type for commercial gain; through products and advertising. This then leads to students creating their own artist research page, demonstrating an understanding of the key words learnt; in a visual way. 3 In this third lesson, students are tasked with personifying a letter, so that collectively the class can create a personified typeface. This typeface will then be used in later lessons to form the text for a piece of ‘positive advertising’. 4 In this fourth lesson, students are tasked with personifying type to form the text for a piece of ‘positive advertising’. This is in response to an industry style, client brief by the NHS for their ‘Change 4 Life’ campaign. This lesson could be extended over several lessons. 5 In this fifth lesson, students are tasked with designing a promotional piggy bank. This is in response to an industry style, client brief by Halifax encouraging people save with them. This lesson could be extended over several lessons.
