Blogging about Form

 My Year 11 class are looking at some of the design elements in the work of their chosen architect. The first one we are doing is form, where they have to make the forms they see in plasticine. We then  take photographs of the models, print hem out and then draw from the photographs.

Link to my example - we include the photos, the drawings, descriptions of the drawings and photographs of the specific designs from the architect that were used as the influence. We are using Hapara workspaces to put together the work in one place.

Some of my students completed this work on form and have blogged about it before moving onto the next design element of pattern. I got them to include the page from their presentation and a description of what they had done.

Link to my example blog- I did an example blog with my work to show them how I wanted them to do it and what I wanted them to include.

Here are some of the blog posts about from form the class. 

• Hinano
• Alyanna
• Erich
• Rose
• Muna

I have been in and put comments on the completed ones, again to give them an idea of writing a comment and giving feedback on each other's work. When the rest of the class has done their blog posts, we will have a session where we all go in and make comments on each other's blogs. I will be giving them guidelines on what to comment about. This will change on each blog post we do as the focus of the work will be different on each.

Comment Guidelines

1. What does this show about the chosen architect?
2. What have they done well on their page? - this could be drawing in 3D, shading, showing the design element of form well
3. What do you like about the work and why.
