Before the country went into Level 4 lockdown, we were well into the work. We have had training sessions with Pippa Lawler - blog post here and have been working our way through analysing our observational drawings through the lens of some of the design elements.
My planning for this is here - Blog post - Lesson prep part 1 - Lesson prep part 2 - Lesson prep part 3
Now we are back to school, we have been working on a combination of the design brief for the product design project - link to workspace here or continuing on with the design elements work - link to class site. While we were on lockdown, I had started to put together examples and screen recordings of the design brief work so that students can get up to date when they are ready to. Link to help page on the class site here. This is an ongoing project for me, and this will expand over time as I make more "help" elements for the students to refer to.
The upshot of all of this is the students choosing what they want to focus on when they come into the class.
I have started putting together a presentation of the completed design element sheets as they complete them. This will be shared with the whole class so they can see each other's work.
This is no where near all of the students or all of their work (as of typing this post). I will keep it up to date as they complete this work.
I am hoping that seeing each other's work as they progress, it will inspire them to feel good about their own as they can see similarities in process in the work of others.

Wow! Blown away by what I am seeing! So creative!

Thanks Paula. They are doing so well. I am very proud of them as this is such a totally new way to work.
DeleteHi Karen. Great to see how much their skills have developed with your guidance/feedback and support. Excellent exemplars for the students coming through or for those considering taking DVC. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Russel
DeleteI am very proud of them. They were excited to see their work on display on the tv at the front of the class on the presentation. It looks great that big.
