Communication Curriculum Units, These downloadable member-only units cover a range of aspects of communication. These units will be regularly developed and added to, creating a broad suite of resources to use in the classroom. 2D Drawing - this offers an introduction to 2D sketching techniques and mark making to communicate design intentions. 3D Drawing 1 - an introduction to 3D sketching using BLOX (a 3D construction cube) as an object for visual reference. 3D Drawing 2 - this resource explores 3D drawing including exploring...
Inspired by Industry Pentagram, Inspired by Industry: PentagramThis context invites students to explore how success can be recognised through the design of awards and trophies, inspired by Pentagram’s work on the UEFA Europa Conference League Trophy. Pupils follow a full design–make–evaluate process, from empathising with users to developing and prototyping ideas in CAD or with physical models. They can investigate form, symbolism, ergonomics, and materials, as well as rapid prototyping processes such as 3D printing or casting. Creative freedom is encouraged alongside technical skills in visual communication, modelling,
Designing with textiles, Age 7-11 yearsFirst published 2011 Designing with textiles.This resource is aimed at older primary children who have had some previous experience of working with fabrics. It will help them generate and develop practical, functional ideas and make models and mock ups to test their design thinking. It will also help them to make patterns, templates and/or nets (using a computer if appropriate), improve their making skills (cutting and joining fabrics) and then evaluate their product in use. What the children make can either be...
