Textiles Work - The Big Issues: Grey Coat School
The Big Issues, KS3: Recycling in Design
The following pieces of work were produced after 2 weeks of planning, design and debate.
Spent one double lesson in the woodwork room (with sewing machines).
Inside out 'gloves' created from an old jumper.
Although not aesthetically pleasing, still wonderfully rustic.
You can see where it's originated from, and that's why we enjoyed it.
Boring black t-shirt in the morning; recycled and fun by the afternoon.
Dad's t-shirt (permission granted), now a mobile phone / wallet case.
These were once pyjamas.
Mum's old fleece. Mum didn't like it. Now a cat cushion and bag.
Mum and daughter drank 3 Capri Sun's each the night before the lesson.
Graphics Work - Sushi Packaging: Grey Coat School
Scheme of Work: Sushi Packaging, KS4
Using fine liners, thin brush and water to give depth to illustrations
You have been commissioned by a Japanese restaurant to design takeaway packaging and a menu. The packaging must contain 6 sushi rolls, each roll is 40mm in diameter. The surface graphics should reflect Japanese culture and include the name of the restaurant ‘So Sushi’. The company is particularly concerned with environmental issues which should be taken into account when choosing materials, size and amount of packaging.
Y10 students produced:
A design folder
A prototype package suitable for batch production
A menu design using Photoshop
Initial ideas being put into practice
Using simple origami techniques to create containers
Loose graphic sketches to illustrate design layout
Each page meticulously stylized to encourage individuality. Ownership of work.
Novel idea for packaging handles
Complex origami techniques mastered over a double lesson
Another example of the above
