Art and Design on Social Media

I have been putting help videos up onto social media for a while now - link to label on this blog to see all the posts related to this. 

This poster has been up in my classroom window since last year and I also have the links on the front of my class site.

This year, I am also teaching Visual Art, so i thought it would be great to get the student's work up online so it is visible outside of the classroom. Link to Instagram page.

I have made a new poster for my classroom window and will also make one for the main art room.

AS91627 - Design Elements - Student Work

My Year 13 class have been working on AS91627 in Design and Visual Communication.

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.
